Qatar Cup investigation set to wrap

The fate of the 2022 World Cup could be decided within weeks after the man leading the internal investigation into how Qatar won the right to host soccer's showcase tournament announced on Monday he will complete his probe next week and report back in July.

Former US prosecutor Michael Garcia appears to hold the future of Qatar's multi-billion dollar World Cup bid in his hands after new allegations of bribery brought loud calls for the tournament to be moved if corruption is proved.

In a statement, Garcia set out a timetable that will see him file a report just after this year's World Cup ends in Brazil.
