FIFA Boss Won’t Address Evidence of Bribery Claims in Qatar World Cup Bid

FIFA President Sepp Blatter refused to comment on allegations linking Qatar’s winning 2022 World Cup bid to payments received by voters. Blatter said at a news conference on Friday “I have not even the right” to discuss claims published this week by the Daily Telegraph. And he insisted he will not comment “until they have finished their work.” Refusing to comment seems to be a popularity among FIFA officials such as Jack Warner who is being investigated for accepting Bin Hammam’s bribery, as he also refused to comment since his resignation in 2011. Now, that the bribery claims is officially going under investigation what is going to happen to the Qatar world cup in 2022? Will there be another bidding or will the World Cup still be held in Qatar? If not, how are football officials and the ethic committees going to monitor the next bidding?
