GENEVA (AP) — International Olympic Committee (IOC) member and FIFA leader Gianni Infantino will not have to explain to the Olympic body how United States President Donald Trump helped to stop a player’s ban at the World Cup.
The IOC said on Friday it has no jurisdiction to investigate Infantino’s alleged lack of political neutrality.
A London-based NGO formally complained this month to the International Olympic Committee ethics commission about Infantino, including his part in ensuring United States forward Folarin Balogun did not serve a mandatory one-game ban despite being sent off in the previous game.
