Yep, that was a no brainer that Laurent Blanc wouldn't be sanctionned, and because of the politic and sportive background :

- Politic : Since Sarkosy is at the helm of the country, there were many scandals over racial issue. And for a while, more than ever : the big debate over Islam, the rise up of FN (the fascist party), some shocking sentences from our ministers about immigration, etc... So the governement couldn't afford to let this case be judged correctly and risk another french representant to be labeled as a racist (even if we all know the truth, but it ain't 'official')... that's why they shut that story down.

- Sportive : I guess you are aware about Knysna et al. The French National Team has started to rebuild itself under Blanc, and if he has to leave under such circumstances, that would be disastrous for that team. We would certainly be fucked up for many years. And the FFF board wants to avoid that. And of course, they don't want another scandal after Domenech's one.

And to be honest, I do not understand how the French Governement could have been involved in this without being sanctionned, I thought governements didn't have the right to interfer in football federations...

Nigeria was banned with their Prime Minister banned all the squad members from the World Cup.

The French got away without even a scar. Corruption at its finest.
