Eriksson all-clear over sex scandal

ENGLAND coach Sven-Goran Eriksson was last night in the clear after bosses decided he had no case to answer over the sex scandal at the Football Association.

Secretary Faria Alam quit her FA job after the decision by a 12-member board of inquiry absolved the Swede over his affair with her. Revelations about her dalliances with Eriksson and chief executive Mark Palios rocked the highest reaches of the football establishment.

There have even been reports she had a sexual relationship with a third, unnamed FA executive. However, the 38-year-old has vowed to have her say and is set to make hundreds of thousands of pounds after selling her story to Sunday papers.
