South Korea's Chung slams decision

South Korean tycoon Chung Mong-joon, one of the most influential figures in Asian soccer, said on Tuesday the decision to leave Sepp Blatter at the helm of FIFA until a new president is elected shows those in power at the scandal-hit governing body "have yet to come to their senses".

FIFA announced on Monday it would set up a new task force to propose reforms aimed at cleaning itself up, a move critics said was an inadequate response to the crisis.

Chung, the billionaire scion of the Hyundai conglomerate and a former FIFA vice-president, told Yonhap News agency he was still thinking about standing in the election, which will take place on Feb 26.
