Aussies bristle atvote-buying allegations

China Daily | Updated: 2014-11-17 07:22

Football Federation Australia hit back on Friday at a FIFA report that alleges taxpayer money went to buy votes during its bid for the 2022 World Cup, insisting it conducted a clean bid campaign.

Australia's top soccer body rejected assertions of impropriety in canvassing support for its failed bid by FIFA's Ethics Committee and said it was "disappointed" by the process.

A FIFA investigation into Qatar's successful bid for the 2022 World Cup cleared the host of any wrongdoing but accused Australia of breaking ethics rules, trying to buy votes and then attempting a cover-up.
