FIFA to quizz whistleblower: Blatter

The whistleblower at the centre of World Cup bid bribery allegations has agreed to come to FIFA to give evidence in person, Sepp Blatter said today.

The person, who had worked for the Qatar 2022 bid organisation, alleged that FIFA members Issa Hayatou and Jacques Anouma were paid 1.5million US dollars each to vote for the Middle East state’s World Cup bid, according to evidence given to a Parliamentary committee by the Sunday Times. The pair deny the claims.
