Word is the Qatar "bIdding committee" are moving on and have won the rights to the Winter Olympics - once again they deny any accusations of bribery between them and the IOC.

A cynic might suspect a new vote offers an opportunity to top up their bank accounts again.
A gift that keeps giving. They probably leaked those emails themselves.

It's not just the giver who's bent, it's those who receive that are the worst.

i was thinking this morning...it's amazing that as organized criminals and racketeers around the world get more and more educated, professional and sophisticated...these cunts at FIFA and UEFA get more and more barbaric in their methods of fraud and criminality and suffer no penalty. When will someone put this group to the sword and end the illusion? It's fucking amazing. Although, i guess in hindsight the IoC is the most similar org and they are bent as fuck, or have been over time, as well.
The whole setup is created for bungs. Bungs R Us should be their name. Worse than an Indian civil servant these days. Even they've had to get their collective act together in the face of technology and modernity.
lets all have a disco wrote:So FIFA have been caught out and shown to be bent bastards (shock horror).
Next UEFA.

Blatter said the other week that political pressure from France and Germany where Qatar have significant interests was what drove the Qatar vote, so it's not that incredible that he voted for Qatar.
The extent to which this is true, and the extent to which outright corruption took place is where the waters are muddied, but that admission alone shows that the decision to vote for Qatar was at the very least a politically motivated move rather than a football based decision

Most of the significant footballing investment in France from Qatar came after the vote though - a cynic might say the vote (and Platini's very public support of Qatar before the vote took place) was a prerequisite of the investment.

I suspect that if proven, this will be the straw that breaks the camels back. I also suspect that proving it is going to be the difficult bit, as FIFA have a history of making a sacrifice a la Warner, then closing ranks. That said, it going to be difficult to get anyone to believe that bin Hammam and a few delegates acted in isolation.
