Greg Dyke: 'FIFA's World Cup probe is a charade'

FA chief executive Greg Dyke continues his slanging match with FIFA president Sepp Blatter, claiming that the recent probe looking into corruption is simply a "charade".

Football Association chief executive Greg Dyke has reiterated his disappointment at FIFA's investigation into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, describing the process as a "charade".

Investigator Michael Garcia published a 430-page report last week which looked into allegations of corruption in the bidding process for the showpiece competition, although he later claimed that the document contained "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations".

Dyke sent a letter to FIFA's top officials urging them to publish the report in full to clear up the matter, but the president of football's world governing body declined the request.

Citing his reasons for not publishing the findings in full, Blatter stated that every person mentioned in the report would have to give their consent in full to do so.

In response, Dyke told Sky Sports News: "His reply seemed to really say 'Look, we want you to talk to everybody who waived their confidentiality'.

"Well, talk to people who waived their confidentiality, fine, but I hope they are also going to talk to everybody else who is involved in this whole charade, and actually they will waive their confidentiality.

"What is interesting of course is the people who didn't give evidence seemed to get away with it scot free."

Former FA chairman David Bernstein has called for England to boycott the 2018 tournament in Russia.
