FIFA PRESIDENT SEPP Blatter confirmed that he asked the Executive Committee to vote in favour of publishing the investigation into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups
The Fifa Executive Committee has agreed to publish an “appropriate form” of Michael Garcia’s report into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively.
The ExCo came to the decision to publish the Garcia report once investigations into current serving members are concluded.
ExCo members Angel Maria Villar Llona, Worawi Makudi and Michel D’Hooghe had proceedings initiated against them by Garcia before his dramatic resignation from his role as Fifa’s ethics committee chief investigator on Wednesday.
Garcia quit Fifa due to what he perceived as misrepresentation of his report by Hans-Joachim Eckert, head of Fifa’s adjudicatory chamber, who released his summary of the Garcia report in November.
While Eckert concluded that proceedings should be opened against certain individuals, his summary stopped short of finding reason to strip Russia and Qatar of the World Cups.
A statement from Fifa president Sepp Blatter reads: “Based on the recommendation from Domenico Scala, the independent Audit and Compliance Committee Chairman, I have asked the Fifa Executive Committee to vote in favour of the publication of the 2018/2022 inquiry report by the investigatory chamber.
“The Fifa Executive Committee unanimously agreed to ask the Adjudicatory Chamber of the independent Ethics Committee to publish the report in an appropriate form once the ongoing procedures against individuals are concluded. I am pleased they have agreed. It has been a long process to arrive at this point and I understand the views of those who have been critical.”
With doping and match fixing the Olympic spirit is finished
Just looks like an alternative version of the truth !!!!
The fights were not FIXED , but an air of collusion. So in other words they were fixed. They gotta make you laugh. Bunch of jokers.
not all judges will be re-instated but no signs of collusion?
No evidence apart from what everyone saw with their own eyes
I really hope ppl didn’t believe the truth would’ve came out.
That was some investigation, the dogs on the street know that the referees and judges were obviously in collusion . Money as usual is the root of all evil.
Well sure that’s alright then…..
How to apologise without apologising.
Can’t wait to see Conlon’s debut.
I know a lad named hickey that can get tickets for it.
Tell that to Katie and Michael who were robbed
Katie wasn’t robbed, that was a 50/50 fight to call but it was hardly robbery. Conlan on the other hand….
Good on ya Michael!!! Punish the athlete for speaking the truth but as usual the cream skims away
What a shower of idiots
When you’ve got the AIBA investigating itself, it’s hardly going to make any other conclusion.
My ass, fixed, rigged, call it what u want, cheating
This is the alternative news report on Rio.do they think people are stupid.
Smoke screen!!!
Total cop out. It either was or wasn’t. More likely the former.
And that’s an alternative face
Fact
Remember the President of Brazil was put into power thanks to the CIA, it makes you think?
What a load of crap. Pure corruption
Complete joke
It’s called an air of collusion so no one is brought to task over it.
Olympics is no longer he’ll in high esteem.
Held in high esteem ( pretext f up )
