No more tarnished than any of those sponsors.
Realy, what heinous crime is Visa guilty of, and any of the other sponsors, mentioned or not?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Inc.#Litigation_...
Nothing proper evil.
From my email sent to FIFA's PR dept.
Seppy, you old dear, here are those ideas you asked for. Feel free to mix and match.
I have always had the best interest of the beautiful game at heart.
Dedicated myself to my role.
Biggest reward was the success of the many World Cups I've been in charge of.
I have striven to make the workings of FIFA as transparent as possible.
I feel let down by the conduct of those in whose honesty I was serverly deceived.
Will cooperate with any officials from any country.
My example has always been one of self sacrifice.
I have not sought rewards or wealth.
It is a tragedy that my example was not followed by those under me.
I feel that, in the best interests of the sport, I should resign my post.
Whilst this might seem dramatic, it is but another example of my self sacrifice.
I don't know who shredded all those documents.
Computers? I'm not too good at them and I leave that all to my IT department and you must ask them where these things called hard disc drives have gone.
Things not to say:
I didn't think police were allowed in really expensive 5* hotels,
Bloody Yanks, they know bugger all about the game,
Why can't they be satisfied with Armstrong being exposed,
Tax haven,
Retiring to country where there is no extradition - this is a big no-no, but the main thing to avoid is:
Look, I've got enough money to pay lawyers to delay any attempt to get me to trial for 40 years.
In addition, you should remove all jewellery, be seen in less grandiose surroundings, like last years S-Class, and don't be seen in that damned Swiss hotel where they heat the whole lake. That was a mistake.
OK, Seppy baby, you pick. Oh, and could you send me your new address for the invoice? Spell the island for me. I've not heard of it before.

And CONACAF have offices in the USA.
That is enough for the U.S. anti bribery laws to kick in. Regardless of where the bribery took place and it doesn't matter that the persons involved are not US citizens. Or have never been to the U.S.
It is quite a wide reaching piece of legislation.

The alternative to Blatter doesn't seem very promising. It's the guy who lobbied for this:
Hijab Initially Approved on Football Pitch
"Prince Ali", that's a name that inspires confidence...

Racketeering Conspiracy, Racketeering, Wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering, money laundering conspiracy, interstate racketeering, bribary, fraud, obtaining money by deception.... I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure all of those care hefty jail time, each.
