FIFA
president Sepp Blatter has promised to kick corrupt officials 'out of
the game' after U.S. prosecutors today laid bare widespread allegations
of rampant corruption at football's governing body.
Blatter
described it as a 'difficult time for football' after officials today
lined up to detail a case in which they claim to have exposed complex
money-laundering schemes, found millions of dollars in untaxed incomes
and tens of millions in offshore accounts held by FIFA officials.
In
a statement released this evening, Blatter said: 'This is a difficult
time for football, the fans and for FIFA as an organisation. We
understand the disappointment that many have expressed and I know that
the events of today will impact the way in which many people view us.
