Infantino Faces Ethics Complaint Over Trump

FIFA President Gianni Infantino could face an IOC ethics investigation after a rights group filed a complaint alleging he breached political neutrality rules through his support for Donald Trump.

The complaint follows Trump’s lobbying to overturn a red card suspension for US forward Folarin Balogun during the World Cup.

FairSquare lodged the complaint, citing the IOC’s fundamental principles of Olympism requiring neutrality.

The controversy has deepened scrutiny of FIFA’s relationship with the Trump administration.
