Septic Bladder, President of FIFA, is ducking out of attending that London 2012 Olympics football
tournament draw at Wembley on April 24.
For why?
Seemingly he has a diary clash, and his absence is absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he wants to avoid the British media!.

Another Court Case
The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) has revealed that it has suspended Dionne Knight, the OPLC's director of corporate services, who has been undertaking paid consultancy work for West Ham United.
Why does this matter?
It matters because West Ham were selected by OPLC to have the stadium after the games, against competition from Tottenham Hotspur.
Ironically, according to the Telegraph, Knight also previously worked for Newham Council, West Ham's partner in the stadium bid.
West Ham are not best pleased with the media slant and insinuations, and have launched legal action against Tottenham Hotspur and the Sunday Times over claims of the "secret" payments.
The concept of "secret cash payments" relating to football is hardly new, if FIFA's soiled reputation is anything to go by. However, if West Ham have been unfairly maligned they are right fight for their reputation. That being said, they should bear in mind that it is not just the "legal susbtsance" of these payments but how they look to everyone else that have done the damage.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?
How "nice" to read that Septic Bladder and the "elite" of FIFA will be staying at five star hotels, and enjoy chauffeured vehicles and best seats at the blue riband events during the 2012 London Olympics.
Septic Bladder will have a free chauffeur driven car, on call for 24 hours a day, which will use the special Olympic lanes in London. Bladder's family members will be given special passes that entitles them to all events, and they will be able to stay at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane.
The Olympics is not about sport, but about money and junkets; FIFA will feel right at home here!

The Jolly Junket
It seems that London's 5 star hotels, such as the Dorchester, will be overwhelmed with booking requests from the "great, the good and the hangers on" of the Olympics during the Olympics 2012.
Locog has received more applications for accommodation from "bigwigs" in the Olympics movement, FIFA and embassies than there are rooms available.
Maybe some will have to "slum it" in 4 and 3 star hotels then?

Boris Nixes Blatter
I was highly amused to read that Boris Johnson has withdrawn the offer of a free stay in the Dorchester hotel for Sepp Blatter, and assorted cronies from FIFA, for the 2012 Olympics.
A money saving exercise, or retribution for the FIFA vote?
