Fifa's Chuck Blazer 'may have acted unlawfully over TV contracts'Chuck Blazer, the whistle-blower who reported corruption within Fifa last year, may have acted unlawfully over a multi-million dollar TV rights contract, according to lawyers acting for the football confederation he still represents. Confidential memos - obtained by BBC Sport - from lawyers acting for Concacaf, the organisation that runs football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean - allege that Blazer is attempting to claim more than $7m (£4.5m) in unpaid commissions for TV rights and sponsorship deals. It also alleges that Blazer - a member of Fifa's all powerful executive committee - was paid "a basic monthly fee" of at least $10,000 (£6,400) per month under the terms of a deal struck in 1994 with former Fifa vice-president Jack Warner, who was the then president of Concacaf. Concacaf delegates last week voted to have Blazer removed from Fifa's executive committee but failed to get their motion added to the Fifa Congress agenda in sufficient time to gain its required approval. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18232533

No doubt this will end up in Blazer getting charged and Warner getting "questioned without suspicion" or some other equally vague scenario.
