Sepp Blatter has, apparently, been admitted to hospital for a stress-related breakdown and fatigue.

Platty isn't allowed to run for FIFA President.
Finally some sense has prevailed. Now it's up to Tokyo Sexwale to win this.

Swiss authorities arrested at least a dozen more people Thursday morning, Sepp Blatter was not one of them though.

Beeb are reporting something similar.
I still don't understand why nothing is being done even though FIFA admitted that the vote for Russia 2018 was pre-determined. What?! That can't be right, surely?
No, it's fine, let's continue having a rotten-to-the-core organisation govern the world's biggest sport.

They're both arguing that it's all a conspiracy to keep them out of office and that the ethics committee only took action because it's an election year.

They also act as if they really think that they didn't do anything wrong. They're so fraudulent, that their minds can't even think straight anymore.

It may seem ridiculous, but probably the president of the CBF, Marco Polo del Nero, will step down and in his place will enter a "new" 79-year-old president.
You can think: but... what this guy have made for the football in his country?
Nothing but destroy the football situation in his "command area".
Remembering: Del Nero can't leave the country because he probably will be arrested outside Brazil.

That's a good joke. Blatter only stepped down because his legacy in football is tainted. That and he has a US indictment waiting for him for money laundering. The only way to fight this is legal action, which he will fall flat on his face because this 8 year ban has a high level of proof to overturn.

Blatter says that he feels abandoned by FIFA and all that is left to fight for is his honour.
No, I couldn't read that with a straight face, either.

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini could face even longer bans after Fifa's ethics investigatory chamber confirmed it is appealing to increase the eight-year suspensions handed down to the two most powerful people in world football.
Blatter and Platini have themselves appealed against the eight-year bans imposed by the ethics committee's adjudicatory chamber last month, but now face a counter-appeal from the investigators who had originally sought a lifetime ban.
The bans were imposed over a £1.3million payment made to Uefa president Platini, signed off by Fifa president Blatter, in 2011 which they said was to settle a verbal agreement made 13 years beforehand.

Do people really think that cutting out the rotten core will cure FIFA's problems? I hypothesise that it will simply lead to a new set of cronies. As alluded to earlier this isn't an altruistic effort, it's due to increasing sponsor pressure.
