Qatar’s 2022 World Cup officials say FIFA’s been given “worthless” evidence of alleged corruption in their bid.
Qatar’s team says allegations published by British lawmakers contain no first-hand evidence or details of bribes being paid to FIFA executive committee members.
Britain’s Parliament publishing the allegations is “distressing, insulting and incomprehensible,” Qatar’s bid said.
A whistleblower who worked for Qatar, and will give evidence to FIFA on Wednesday, has “a significant axe to grind,” Qatari officials claimed.
Qatar said The Sunday Times’ evidence is unreliable because reporters posed as “corrupt representatives of the United States bid.”
The (Qatari) officials said they are available to help any FIFA investigation.
