FIFA suspends its two Executive members for selling their voting right

Football's governing body, FIFA, has provisionally suspended two members of its executive committee over vote selling allegations. The Chairman of FIFA's ethics committee said, the two officials, Amos Adamu of Nigeria and Reynald Temarii of Tahiti will be suspended from all football-related activities pending an investigation. They are accused of offering to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup ahead of December's ballot. They were secretly filmed by Sunday Times reporters, who posed as lobbyists for a consortium of American companies that wanted the event to go to the US. Both men have denied any wrong-doing. The President of FIFA Sepp Blatter said, the organisation owed it to its fans to investigate any allegation of wrong-doing.
