体坛英语资讯：FIFA asks British newspaper for more evidence

发布时间：2016-10-20 编辑：查字典英语网小编

FIFA has asked a British newspaper to provide more evidence for an investigation into a World Cup scandal after it reported remarks by a former official about collusion between bidders.

"FIFA has immediately requested to receive all the documents and potential evidence that the newspaper has in relation to this matter, and will in any case analyse the material available," world football's governing body said in a statement on Monday.

The Sunday Times ran a report and video on Sunday by undercover journalists posing as lobbyists, which included reported remarks by ex-FIFA general secretary Michel Zen-Ruffinen about Spain-Portugal and Qatar's bids to host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022.

FIFA has vowed "zero tolerance" following earlier claims of vote selling in the race to host the events, provisionally suspending executive committee members Amos Adamu of Nigeria and Reynald Temarii representing Oceania last week pending a further investigation.

FIFA's ethics committee also said last Thursday that it was looking into a second set of allegations on deals between member associations and between their Bid Committees in the race to host 2018 and 2022.

FIFA's ethic committee is due to meet again mid-November to complete its investigation and make its rulings.

Ethics committee chief Claudio Sulser told journalists last Thursday that The Sunday Times had already supplied some 90 minutes of video recordings and evidence that was used for its provisional decision on Temarii and Adamu.
