ONE of the honoured guests in Russia is Sepp Blatter, the disgraced former FIFA boss who, in 2015, was banned from all involvement in football for six years, basically for presiding over the most corrupt sporting organisation on earth. Host during his stay in Russia has been one Vitaly Mutko, who led Russia’s bid to host this tournament. According to The Observer, Mutko dined out with Blatter on the anniversary of FIFA clearing the Russian bid of corruption. The FIFA ethics report did however note that the Russians made only a limited number of documents available for inspection because “the computers used at the time had been leased, then destroyed in the interim”.
