FIFA President Sepp Blatter says he will ask for evidence of the claims that six of his executive committee colleagues were involved in corruption ahead of last year's vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The allegations were made Tuesday in Britain's Parliament.
Blatter says he ''can't say if they are all angels or if they are all devils,'' adding he ''can only answer for myself'' and that he's ''not in this category.''
Blatter says he will forward any information he receives of the allegations to the FIFA ethics committee.
