Ethics Investigator Seeks Culture Change at FIFA

FIFA's independent ethics investigator Michael Garcia has called for fundamental culture change at world football's governing body, calling for "greater transparency" in the way in which the organisation conducts itself.

"The investigation and adjudication process operates in most parts unseen and unheard," he commented, adding that "leadership that sends a message that the rules apply to everyone" was needed.

"That's a kind of system which might be appropriate for an intelligence agency but not for an ethics compliance process in an international sports institution that serves the public and is the subject of intense public scrutiny."
