Corruption charges for FIFA duo

TWO of football’s most powerful figures have been accused of handing over bundles of US dollar bills in the most serious corruption crisis that FIFA have ever faced.

FIFA announced yesterday that vice-president Jack Warner and presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam have been charged with bribery.

The pair will face FIFA’s ethics committee on Sunday where they will face long bans if the allegations — made by fellow executive committee member Chuck Blazer — are proved.
