Fifa secretary Jerome Valcke suspended

[Frogfish]

Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke has been put on leave and released from his duties until further notice.

A Fifa statement said it had "been made aware of a series of allegations involving the secretary general".

Newspaper allegations on Thursday implicated Valcke, 54, in a scheme to sell World Cup tickets for above face value. The Frenchman, who is said to deny the allegations, has been in his role at Fifa since 2007.

Fifa has been engulfed by claims of widespread corruption since May, when Swiss police raided a hotel in Zurich and arrested seven of its top executives. More to follow.

When are they going to get Blatter ? I'm relying on the FBI.

They did say there would me more arrests coming.

Presumably this is the precursor

They won't get Blatter if he stays home. When home isn't saft then he can always move to Russia. He will be safe there. Putin will protect him.

BBC Sport understands Sepp Blatter has been advised by his US lawyers not to travel beyond Switzerland’s borders while the investigation into football’s world governing body continues.

But he has nothing to hide.

Hahaha

The net is closing

Anyone who voted for Qatar to host the world cup should be barred from standing in the next election for FIFA president. Platini should explain why he thought they were the best choice.

FIFA? Corrupt? In other breaking news, the sky is blue.
