// David Bond's blog: Has the FA gone far enough?Asked if the decision to award the 2022 World Cup could be reversed if the bribery claims were found to be true, he answered: "This is an idea circulating already around the world which is alarming.
"Don't ask me yes or no, let us go step by step."
Blatter added: "We must know if the allegations are true or not true or unproven. If they are not true, then this case is over.
"Then we will see which instrument will work. It is of paramount importance that we have this situation clarified on the 27th [May].
"The [Fifa] ethics committee is already alerted and alarmed - they are not just lying on the beach - and the members will come for the congress and can convene at very short notice."
