ZURICH - FIFA President Sepp Blatter came out fighting on Saturday as he began his fifth term in charge of soccer's governing body, implying that the United States timed the announcement of a major corruption probe to try to scupper his re-election bid.
The 79-year-old Swiss comfortably won Friday's vote at a FIFA congress in Zurich, having secured the support of blocks of votes from Asia and Africa which outweighed dissenters including Europe's powerful soccer body UEFA.
He now faces the daunting task of restoring public faith in an organisation tainted by allegations of graft and deeply divided over his leadership.
In an interview late on Friday, he showed few signs of wanting to unite one of the world's most powerful sports bodies that takes in billions of dollars in revenue from television marketing rights and sponsorships.
"No one is going to take it off me that it was a simple coincidence (that) this American attack (happened) two days before the elections of FIFA," Blatter told the RTS Swiss television channel in an interview.
"Why didn't they (the police) do this in March when we had the same meeting? At that time, we had less journalists."
In a dawn swoop on a Zurich hotel on Wednesday, Swiss police arrested seven leading soccer officials, including FIFA vice-president Jeffrey Webb.
The arrests were connected to a bribery scandal being investigated by US, Swiss and other law enforcement agencies that plunged FIFA into the worst crisis in its 111-year history.
Blatter also singled out UEFA, whose president Michel Platini had called for his resignation.
"It is a hate not only by one person of UEFA but by the organisation of UEFA that has not understood that I have been president since 1998," Blatter said. "I forgive everyone but I don't forget."
Blatter's expanding power base
Blatter has not been implicated in any wrongdoing, but having ruled FIFA for nearly 20 years during which it has regularly been subject to suspicions of graft, his critics have argued it was time for him to step down.
His supporters welcomed the outcome of a vote that pitted the veteran incumbent against a sole challenger, 39-year-old Prince Ali bin Al Hussein of Jordan.

"The AFC (Asian Football Confederation) has always supported the FIFA President and we are happy to continue working with him and FIFA to further develop Asian and world football into the future," Asian football chief Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said on Saturday.
That support reflects Blatter's success in expanding FIFA's membership away from soccer's heartlands and in exploiting resentment in Africa and Asia over the perceived arrogance of the game's powerhouse nations in Europe and South America.
Despite Blatter's re-election, the scandal surrounding the investigations into corruption looks set to rumble on.
Platini has raised the possibility, albeit slim, of Europe boycotting the World Cup tournament, soccer's showcase played every four years.
There has also been talk of UEFA breaking away from FIFA, although that is also seen as unlikely.
England's Football Association chairman Greg Dyke, another vocal critic of Blatter, said the row within FIFA was unlikely to end with Friday's vote.
His vice-chairman David Gill confirmed on Saturday he would not take up his post on FIFA's executive committee.
"The terribly damaging events of the last three days have convinced me it is not appropriate to be a member of the FIFA executive committee under the current leadership," he said.
I wanted to give out some tips, tricks, and methods that someone can utilize now if you’re in the market of getting a fitness trainer. This information that I’m about to share with you and inform you, you would not be able to obtain in any place. This is all in the trench stuff coming straight from the source.
Initially let me disclose that if you already have a fitness trainer, please do not be put off at the information that I am offering if she or he does not fit “my personal criteria.” This is just my exclusive and professional opinion. You do not have to go by it. And if you right now have a personal trainer and are joyful with him or her, then that’s awesome. Kudos to you.
So 1st thing I would look for is references and testimonials. This I feel is a lot more imperative then credentials and total of years working sometimes.
A admirable example is just knowing the personage that worked with that trainer. Also tailor the trainer to your goals. If he or she is acknowledged for getting females in good shape and they have the testimonials, then hire them. If he or she is known for aiding people to sculpt big muscles, then hire that trainer if that is your goals. If that specific personal trainer is known for aiding people to shrink down body fat then go with them. Etc.
The second thing I would investigate are certificates. Credentials can certainly be a crapshoot in this industry. A lot of fitness trainers who do not have absolute training and need experience will get every certification under the sun. It’s not a bad thing per se, but it does not let them to specificize, which would be more valuable for their business and it shows a lack of belief in oneself sometimes. For example, I heard an account from a world class trainer how he had a person call him up and ask if he was Kettelbell Certified.
The fitness trainer is noticed all over the world, presents at conferences and seminars and has many o. |
