Gianni Infantino has warned anyone who is still corrupt at FIFA to get out before they are caught. The new FIFA president has promised to clean up world footballs governing body after a year of corruption scandals and controversy.I dont know whether there are still individuals or entities that are corrupt, I hope not, Infantino said. If there are, then they have the choice now to leave FIFA because sooner or later either we or justice will catch them and they will be kicked out and punished.Infantino became FIFA president in February after his predecessor Sepp Blatter was banned from football for six years.Former UEFA president Michel Platini and former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke are also serving long bans and Infantino says he fully supports the US and Swiss investigations which have targeted football officials.Many of FIFAs problems started with the controversial decision to hold the vote for the right to host the 2018 and the 2022 World Cups at the same time.In a wide-ranging interview with Fox Sports, Infantino says the decision on who will host the 2026 World Cup will be taken in 2020.The bids will start now with the consultation phase, Infantino said. We have to make sure that this bidding process is absolutely bulletproof, that we create a transparent process and this takes of course a little bit of time, a little bit of consultation. And so we start the process now. It will take three or four years and we will make a decision. Infantino was elected FIFA president in February Infantino campaigned for the presidency on a platform of reform and transparency, but he was caught up in the Panama Papers scandal last month. Files leaked from a Panamanian law firm showed that in 2006, when Infantino worked at UEFA, they signed a TV deal with a businessman who last year was accused by US prosecutors of paying bribes to football executives.I have made it very clear that this whole situation is basically a non-story, Infantino said. There was a tender process. Everything is well documented. It has been done completely transparently and properly. If then after the deal has been concluded some people have committed a criminal activity, then these people need to be judged. I am feeling relaxed because I know the facts. I know everything was done correctly. I was at the beginning quite upset about how it was reported. I think it was just disgraceful the way it was portrayed.Infantino is pressing on with proposals to expand the World Cup from 32 to 40 teams. He hinted that the 2026 World Cup could be in the United States although he would be staying neutral.When challenged on the disparity in pay levels between men and women footballers, Infantino said the gap was being closed but he refused to endorse equal prize money at World Cups.I think this is linked with many different elements that need to be discussed, he said. There is not a straightforward answer to this. Also See: Infantino elected president Case made for video replays Infantino dismayed by leaks World Cups not changing Joel Anthony Jersey .ca!

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. SPIELBERG, Austria -- Bernie Ecclestone has revealed more details about his plans to scrap bonus payments to Formula Ones five biggest teams.Ecclestone said this week that he will introduce a fairer system whereby prize money would be more closely linked to the previous years performance rather than each teams historical status within the sport. Under the current arrangements, which expire in 2020, Ferrari is guaranteed a $70 million bonus each year based on its long-standing position in F1, while Red Bull, McLaren, Mercedes and Williams have additional bonuses negotiated on top of the standard prize money.F1s smaller teams have long campaigned for a more equal distribution of the sports revenues and Ecclestone says his new system will give them the chance to earn a bigger share by scoring better results.At the moment they have no chance with this money that we give them, he said. They dont have any chance. But we are going to make sure they are in a position where they do [have a chance] if they perform. Then they will be in the same position as anyone else.[Under the current contracts] we sort of look after - if thats the right word - four or five teams because they have had a long-term commitment with us and they siigned four or five years ago to stay until 2020.dddddddddddd So they needed something for doing it and the other teams couldnt sign or if they would sign and they stopped, what could we do?However, the 2020 agreement is still in its formative stages and will require the agreement of all the teams wishing to remain in the sport. Historically, Ferrari has held a withdrawal from the sport as a trump card in their negotiations with Ecclestone, allowing them to cut the best deal.Asked what he would do in a similar situation this time around, Ecclestone said: Theyve said it a few times [that they will quit]. I think they are genuine when they say these things. They just forget, thats all.But he later added: Lets have a look at it. Ferrari has been with us since F1 started so they should get something for that.When it was put to Ecclestone that the new system could be introduced before the current contracts expire in 2020, he said that would require the unlikely agreement of all the teams.Thats something that wed have to get Ferrari and people to agree to. But after that we dont need them to agree. ' ' '
