FIFA anti-corruption reforms coming

FIFA President Sepp Blatter says he will present detailed anti-corruption reforms in October.
Blatter promised to clean up world football when he was re-elected unopposed in June to get a fourth and final four-year presidential term.
His former election rival Mohamed bin Hammam withdrew from the race amid bribe allegations. The Qatari is currently appealing a life ban.
Blatter said he is working on different items to present to the executive committee of FIFA during the meeting.
The bribery scandal also exiled FIFA vice president Austin ‘Jack’ Warner, as the Trinidad and Tobago government official resigned rather than face football's justice.
FIFA is also investigating 16 Caribbean officials for allegedly accepting US$40,000 cash payments and has warned that more cases could follow.
Blatter chairs the 24-man panel, which can change some anti-corruption rules.
