FIFA is so corrupt that the reason Blatter went after Bin Hammam wasn't the corruption, rather because Bin Hammam wanted to be FIFA president.

qatar paid $1.7m per vote
http://www.espnfc.us/fifa-world-cup/story/1868185/report-qatar-paid-$17-million-for-asian-votes
FIFA's decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar came under further scrutiny as The Sunday Times published new allegations that Mohamed Bin Hammam used his wealth and top level contacts to buy support for the oil-rich country's successful bid.
The newspaper, which last week claimed that the former FIFA Executive Committee member made payments totaling $5 million to senior football officials to seal support for Qatar, also accused Bin Hammam of using $1.7 million to secure key Asian votes.
It alleged that Bin Hammam arranged government level talks for Thailand's FIFA executive Worawi Makudi to discuss a gas sale "potentially worth tens of millions of dollars to Thailand'' and that he was invited to visit Vladimir Putin before Russia and Qatar's victories in the votes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Under a front-page headline of "Gas deal turns heat on World Cup," the newspaper alleged that Bin Hammam arranged meeting and favors for voters in the months leading to the ballots.
The 2010 vote, which awarded football's biggest tournament to the tiny desert state, is under investigation by FIFA's independent ethics prosecutor. Qatar organizers deny any wrongdoing.
In a statement released on Saturday following its Executive Committee's second meeting of the year in Sao Paulo, FIFA said "the executive reaffirmed its position of letting the ethics committee complete its work before making any comment."
According to the newspaper, which says it had access to millions of secret documents during its investigation, Bin Hammam brokered two secret meetings with Qatari royals to discuss a major gas deal with a senior aide to Makudi.
"The exact nature of the deal on the table is unclear, but it came as Thailand sought to save tens of millions of pounds by renegotiating an arrangement with Qatar to purchase 1 million tons of liquefied natural gas each year at a contractual price it considered too high," the newspaper said.
The Sunday Times said that Makudi denied that he had received a personal "concession" from his involvement but did not elaborate.
Bin Hammam is no longer a committee member of world football's governing body after being caught up in a corruption scandal surrounding his failed campaign for its presidency in 2011.
The Sunday Times claimed that the $1.7 million Bin Hammam paid to Asian officials from funds controlled by his private company Kemco were used as he was campaigning for both the Qatar World Cup bid and for his own re-election to the post of president of the Asian Football Confederation.
The newspaper said he was invited to a meeting by Russia to discuss "bilateral relations" in sport between Qatar and Russia on Oct. 30, 2010, a month before the vote on the bids.
"Two days later, Qatar's ruling emir also flew to Moscow for talks about joint gas production deals between the two countries,'' the Sunday Times said.I went to Sharif University. I'm a superior genetic mutation, an improvement on the existing mediocre stock.

Lol. If in this day and age anyone even mentions, let alone offers bribes in an email, then he DESERVES to be in jail. Not only for bribing, but for the greater crime of utter stupidity.
Who does such things in an email??

اگر فیفا تصمیم بگیرد برای تعیین میزبان جدید جام جهانی ۲۰۲۲ بار دیگر رای*گیری کند، قطر حق هیچ گونه اقدامی را نخواهد داشت.
به گزارش خبرگزاری فارس،* جریان پس گرفتن میزبانی جام جهانی از کشور قطر وارد مرحله تازه*ای شده است.
چندی پیش بود که یک نشریه انگلیسی فاش کرد اسنادی در دست دارد که نشان از پرداخت رشوه سران کشور قطر برای خرید رای از کشورهایی بوده که در انتخاب میزبان جام جهانی نقش داشته*اند.
اگرچه این ادعا از سوی کشور قطر به شکل رسمی رد و اعلام شد محمد بن همام هیچ نقش رسمی در ارائه پیشنهاد برای دریافت میزبانی جام جهانی نداشته است اما همچنان خبرهای مربوط به رای گیری دوباره برای تعیین مجدد میزبان جام جهانی ادامه دارد.
نشریه independent در این زمینه نوشته که سران کشور قطر پس از آنکه این کشور در سال ۲۰۱۰ به میزبانی جام جهانی دست یافت برگه*هایی را امضا کرده*اند که اگر مشکلی در زمینه برگزاری جام پیش آمد، حق هیچ گونه شکایت یا اقدام قانونی علیه فیفا را ندارند. این بدان معنا است که سران فیفا حق این را دارند با برگزاری یک رای گیری جدید، میزبانی را از قطر بگیرد و سران این کشور هم هیچ*گونه حق اعتراضی نخواهند داشت.Comment

The arabs know that they are caught red handed. That's why they no longer deny the bribing. They just claim the bribing was done by someone not affiliated with them (even though he was Chairman of the qatar Football Association).Originally posted by Asghar Agha View PostI went to Sharif University.

A mistake for sure, but no just for the bribery allegations....I wouldn't want to see a match played in a stadium with only sebil-kolofts in attendance where the other half of the host's population is frowned upon if they attend or show their "skin". Bring it back to Australia, or USA please."Evil is rare, but ignorance is epidemic"Comment

This explains why Qatar reduced the number of stadiums in their construction plan. They must know the cancellation is coming :-)“It is easier to fool the people, than to convince them they have been fooled." - Mark TwainComment

No point of continuing this thread until the report comes out from the FIFA disciplinary committee days after the worldcup. Now it is time to wait and see.
I can't imagine Sepp Blatter getting another term with how bad this term has gone.Comment
