What
happened to the men who voted for the corruption-plagued 2018 and 2022 World
Cup bids?
It
is an image which sums up how ethical standards at the body charged with
upholding football's moral standards have plummeted.
Scandals and rumors of
corruption have dogged FIFA throughout the 17-year reign of its president, Sepp
Blatter, but he was not named in either investigation.
The
graphic highlights how no fewer than 10 members of the Fifa Exco that voted for
the 2018 World Cup to be held in Russia, and the 2022 tournament to be staged in
Qatar, have either been charged with corruption or forced out of the
institution over suspected wrongdoing.
A further four members have
been subject to an investigation over alleged malpractice while the
organisation's kingpin, Sepp Blatter, became the latest executive to leave
office last week after yet another corruption scandal engulfed his
organisation.
