Sepp Blatter: There is no corruption in soccer
FIFA president Sepp Blatter says the organization is not corrupt and that he stepped down from his position so as to protect the sport's governing body.
Blatter has served as president of FIFA since 1998, but his tenure has been marred by repeated allegations of corruption even prior to the arrests of FIFA officials by Swiss and American authorities in May.
The Swiss was re-elected president in the midst of the scandal, but announced his intention to relinquish his mandate as president on June 2 – less than a week after nine FIFA officials were indicted on charges of racketeering conspiracy and corruption.
