A global corruption watchdog says FIFA has failed to send a clear message that it will fight wrongdoing in soccer, as the governing body prepares to investigate World Cup vote-trading allegations.
Transparency International lawyer Sylvia Schenk tells The Associated Press that scandals surrounding how FIFA chooses the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts are creating ''a lot of doubt'' about its integrity.
Schenk says FIFA has failed to give the impression it has a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and has established a culture of entitlement.
An ethics panel on Wednesday will investigate claims that FIFA executive committee members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii offered to sell their votes and at least two bidders colluded on sharing support.
