World Game Corruption

Where's FIFA? With all the talk about corruption in England and Italy these days, it's easy to overlook what is going on elsewhere. Like many countries, soccer is extremely popular in China. There is an article in the Economist that talks about the issue of corruption in China. There are allegations of widespread corruption including match-fixing and gambling. So So far the Chinese government has done little to address the problem. The real question should be what is FIFA going to do about this? Afterall they are the world's governing body and ultimately responsible.
