Football's world
governing body FIFA awarded the 2018 competition to Russia and the 2022
World Cup to Qatar in December 2010, a decision which has been dogged by
allegations of corruption and wrongdoing.
Michael Garcia, a former
New York attorney, is head of the investigative arm of FIFA's ethics
committee and will visit all of the countries involved in the bidding
process for the two tournaments, beginning in London next week. Garcia
has always insisted he is completely independent from FIFA and would not
hesitate to take action against president Sepp Blatter or other top
FIFA officials if he found evidence that they broke the rules.
