FIFA refused US senators

Cretinism Pindos sometimes rolls over, but glad that sane people in the world anymore.
FIFA Football functionaries from US senators refused their request to exclude Russia from the World Cup 2014. In addition, also refused to deny the rights of the FIFA World Cup of Russia in 2018. In FIFA believe that football is not related to politics. FIFA senators refused a request from the United States to exclude Russian national football team of the World Cup 2014 in Brazil as well as to take away from the Russians the right to host the World Cup in 2018. About this newspaper "Kommersant" with reference to «The Wall Street Journal».
Negative response to the request of Americans said FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke. According to the text of his letter, the rules of world football organization "shall not apply to persons who are not related to the pyramid structure of football." Thus football functionary stressed the fact that the football national teams can not be held responsible for the actions of its public authorities.
The authors of the proposal aimed at FIFA, have already responded to the official letter Valcke. Senator Dan Coates said that FIFA "ignores its history».
"These arguments are not supported by the facts. Yugoslavia was denied participation in the European and world championships in 1992 and 1994 due to the wrongful conduct of the country during the Balkan wars, "- said Coates.
Earlier, US Senator Mark Kirk and Dan Coates sent an official letter to FIFA President Joseph Blatter, in which they asked him to exclude the Russian team from the 2014 World Cup and the right to deprive her of the 2018 World Cup. According to the senators, this sanction had to impose on Russia as punishment for joining the Crimea to the Russian Federation.
