Chung Mong-joon: FIFA sabotaging my presidential candidacy

Former FIFA vice president Chung Mong-joon has accused world football's governing body of sabotaging his bid to succeed Sepp Blatter after its ethics committee banned him for six years.

Chung, who was investigated over the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contest, said in a statement on Wednesday that the committee had still not provided him with written reasons for imposing the punishment two weeks ago.

The South Korean said: "FIFA continues to sabotage my candidacy for FIFA president."
