Transparency International cut ties to FIFA

Transparency international the corruption watchdog that was supporting Fifa after its numerous  corruption scandals, has walked away from football's governing body.

An official with Transparency International (TI) has said that this was becasue two of its key recommendations are being ignored.

TI stated that Fifa are paying an expert to oversee the reforms and feel that this amounts to a conflict of interest. Perhaps more tellingly this exper has said he would not re-examine past scandals. There is little logic to this decision unless he is acting under instruction.

The move is a blow to the credibility of Fifa's who obviously have no committment to reformation  process, which should be viewed as a own goal by the probably corrupt leadership and a personal failure of its President Sepp Blatter.

Fifa has declined to comment
