Asian boss says corrupt officials will ‘pay’
BEIJING - Acting Asian football boss Zhang Jilong vowed to bring corrupt officials to book and said claims against under-fire president Mohamed bin Hammam “harm the sport’s beauty”, Chinese media said Wednesday. Zhang, who took charge after bin Hammam was suspended over alleged bribery, pledged to make the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) more transparent and to ease the fall-out from the graft scandals engulfing the sport. “Scandals such as bin Hammam’s bribery allegations harm the sport’s beauty. Anyone who does not show transparency should pay for it,” Zhang told Chinese website Sina.com, according to the China Daily. Zhang also issued a separate statement denying he said bin Hammam was “still the president” and that FIFA had “no right” to bar him from Asian duties. Those comments were also reported by Sina.com and the China Daily this week.
