Probably the hardest thing I do on a regular basis is to try to figure out which of FIFA, UEFA and the IOC is the most blatantly corrupt.
Should a football club owned by one of Putin's closest mates be allowed to play in England?
I knew the day I saw the first Gazprom-ad in a Champions League match that this would eventually become a problem.
Football and sports in general needs to tie it self up in strict ethical and moral stances.
You can't say on one side that politics does not have a place in sports while being fed from the hands of dirty money.
FIFA, UEFA, IOC, it's all a farce at this point.

I know it won't happen, but Russia must be kicked out of all international sporting competition effective immediately, as far as football is concerned, their national team must be kicked out of World Cup Qualifying, banned from the next UEFA European Championships and any remaining club sides removed from the CL, EL & ECL.
What Russia has done today goes beyond sport, and as far as I'm concerned they should be made an international pariah on all levels.

Was thinking, surely Belarus should be kicked out of the next World Cup & European Qualifying as well?
They've essentially been Russia's puppet during all this.

Starting with Chelski. Funded entirely by Russian money and a known ally of Putin.
FIFA never fail to help you to find another level to help you to hate them more.
Should be easy to spot and destroy. As it looks like an AT AT Walker from Star Wars, just wind some cable around the legs and pull!A Putin crony told the BBC that modest-living Vlad only owns a Moscow flat & a caravan.
But we know different. Below is just one of his properties.
What Dan fails to write in his piece is that his Newspaper in which this is published is owned by Evgeny Lebedev, who is a Russian-British businessman, who owns Lebedev Holdings Ltd, which owns the Evening Standard &The Independent. He is the son of the Russian billionaire oligarch and former KGB agent Alexander Lebedev.
Two years ago Lebedev was handed a peerage in the House of Lords he took the following title: Baron Lebedev of Hampton in our London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation.
The 40-year-old – a close friend of Boris Johnson – reportedly had to ask Vladimir Putin for permission to call himself ‘Baron of Siberia’ – a request which, evidently, was granted. He will sit as an independent cross-bencher.
Given nice little jobs to ex-cabinet ministers with zero experience of actually doing the job....
And this is before we even get into The Russia Report....

Blame your fascist President.
Strong decisive action
The Uselessness of UEFA is incredible. They need to follow with sanctions. They need to drop the Gazprom sponsorship and any Russian money sponsorships and suspend the Russian National team and Clubs from all competitions.
