    Oh, gee… I’m sure he’s really concerned about how much trouble he’s going to be in.

    As if the IOC had a functional ethics committee. FIFA and IOC are trying to be the top spot for corruption in sports for decades.

    The same IOC that just allowed Russians to return to the Olympic games?
    Yeah, they’ve got no ethics either. So I highly doubt they’ll do anything of importance to someone as corrupt as infantino.

      The IOC cites neutrality among “fundamental principles of Olympism” for sports bodies like FIFA, and has jurisdiction over Infantino since he joined its exclusive group of 100-plus invited members in 2020.

      Probably that.
