Fifa's oxymoron

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Two terms that should can never be put in the same sentence.. "Sepp Blatter" & "anti-corruption". Yet that very has happened..

Blatter plans anti-corruption committee

Sepp Blatter has revealed that FIFA will form an anti-corruption committee in the wake of damaging allegations of bribery and vote-rigging during last month's World Cup summit.

FIFA executive committee members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii were banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity following a corruption probe prior to December's vote and there were also claims of collusion between World Cup bidding nations Spain/Portugal and Qatar.

FIFA president Blatter was also heavily criticised after the executive committee voted to award the 2018 World Cup to Russia and, more controversially, the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.

Blatter has now revealed FIFA will put together an anti-corruption body aimed at improving the image of world football's governing body..

The part that's ironic is..

"I will take care of it personally, to ensure there is no corruption at FIFA."

..said the man who gave meaning to the word "corruption".
