We have been hearing it for awhile now and only time will bring out more evidence of corruption in Soccer. When it reaches to the highest level you know the sport has some issues. FIFA, the international governing body of football is deep in conflict over recent corruption claims over the World Cup selection process. The latest allegations came from the U.K. after an inquiry into their failed bid for the 2018 World Cup. Lord Triesman, former FA head has accused four member of the FIFA executive committee who votes for World Cup hosts of unethical and improper behavior. These accusations include demands for money and honorary knighthoods. Last fall two FIFA voters were suspended for similar actions when they tried to sell their World Cup votes. The World Cup is big business and can potentially generate great sums of money for a host country. Anything for the almighty dollar. Not just the players and games but now the governing body is embroiled in sports corruption.
