FIFA President Gianni Infantino “could face an investigation” by the IOC after rights group FairSquare announced plans on Wednesday to “file a complaint alleging he breached political neutrality rules through his support” of President Trump. FairSquare, which filed an earlier complaint to the FIFA Ethics Committee against Infantino in December, said that it will “lodge the complaint with the IOC regarding Infantino’s ‘repeated breach of political neutrality rules.’” IOC President Kirsty Coventry said on Tuesday that no complaint “had been received to be considered by the ethics commission but added: ‘Obviously, if they do, they would look into it’” (REUTERS, 7/8).
