This letter to Michael Garcia from Qatar whistleblower Phaedra al-Majid was circulated overnight. In it she issues a complaint that her confidentiality was breached by Hans Joachim Eckert’s woeful summary report of Garcia’s own report into World Cup corruption.

FIFA is an organisation that takes breaches of confidentiality VERY seriously indeed. When disgraced ExCo member Amos Adamu was caught on film asking for backhanders in return for his World Cup vote 4 years ago, it wasn’t for soliciting bribes he was punished for, but, er, breaching confidentiality. Such is the strange world of Planet FIFA.

I wonder if the ethics committee will take a similarly hard line on Judge Eckert?
