Garcia report stirs up storm

The chairman of England's Football Association said on Monday he had written to every member of FIFA's executive committee calling for "urgent action" to ensure ethics investigator Michael Garcia's report into World Cup bidding is published in full.

FIFA cleared Qatar and Russia, the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts respectively, of corruption last week and ruled out a revote for the tournaments despite widespread allegations of wrongdoing.

But within hours of FIFA's ethics committee publishing a summary of Garcia's report, the corruption probe was thrown into turmoil when US-based lawyer Garcia said he would appeal against the findings as they contained "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions" detailed in his investigation.
