After Bin Hammam's race claim, Blatter needs to prove he really is a citizen of the world

Mihir BoseMohammed Bin Hammam may have been self-serving in accusing FIFA of racism and alleging that, had he been an European, he would not have suffered the punishment he has - banished for life from world football for having been found guilty of vote buying during the FIFA presidential race.

He could not have put it more clearly in a letter to Petrus Damaseb, the deputy chairman of the Ethics Committee: "Were I a European, or were the Caribbean part of Europe, neither [Sepp] Blatter nor [Jérôme] Valcke will dare lay a finger on us. Were we Europeans, you [a reference to Damaseb] would have never been given the opportunity to chair this ethics committee panel and slaughter people left and right, as you have done."
