DOHA: The former General Secretary of FIFA Michel Zen-Ruffinen has described the corruption allegations related to 2018 and 2022 World Cup as  “fabricated”

“Today, I am certain that the information I received from a European source was a fabrication,” said  Zen-Ruffinen in an exclusive interview with INSIDEWorldFootball.com, referring to the rumours of vote collusion in the race for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting rights.
The former General Secretary of FIFA is critical of English journalists who misled him.
