Havelange's legacy marred by rocky end to FIFA tenure

Ex-president transformed World Cup but was also linked to bribery scandal

Joao Havelange, who died on Tuesday at 100, transformed FIFA into a global business behemoth and helped bring the Olympics to Rio, only to resign in disgrace after a corruption scandal.

The Samaritano Hospital in Rio de Janeiro confirmed that Havelange, who had been treated in July for pneumonia, died early in the morning.
