GENEVA - Investigations of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes should be given more time to finish, according to FIFA presidential contender Jerome Champagne.Ahead of the FIFA executive committee reviewing the case next week, Champagne suggested Wednesday that the hosting status of Russia and Qatar were still open to question.I only hope that the truth will come, Champagne told The Associated Press in an interview, regarding the FIFA boards choices in December 2010. We have time and that is why we need to do things correctly after four years of controversies.We need to protect the World Cup and we need to know if the 14-8 votes integrity has been respected or not, he said, referring to Qatars margin of victory over the United States in a final round of voting in the 2022 contest.Champagne said a few more months were needed to finish the investigations and finally deal with the case, which has long been linked to claims of vote-buying, collusion and favour-seeking.Champagne said that FIFAs own ethics probe of the hosting votes, an investigation which he believes is underway by the FBI, and FIFAs criminal complaint to the Swiss attorney general — relating to conduct of unnamed individuals — are all unresolved.Also, ethics prosecutor Michael Garcia has opened cases against five past and current FIFA officials including Germany great Franz Beckenbauer, a former board member who voted in 2010.We need to know what has happened. And to continue the process until the end, said Champagne, who was FIFA international relations director until leaving in January 2010.Still, any FIFA case against Russia and Qatar seemed closed last month by ethics judge Joachim Eckert, in a summary judgment of Garcias sealed 430-page investigation report.After Garcia challenged the German judges findings, they agreed at peace talks to give FIFAs audit and compliance chairman, Domenico Scala, authority to decide which key details are presented to the executive committee. It meets Dec. 18-19 in Marrakech, Morocco.FIFA President Sepp Blatter will lead the boardroom debate which could include three longstanding members — Angel Maria Villar of Spain, Michel DHooghe of Belgium and Worawi Makudi of Thailand — currently being prosecuted by Garcia.Champagne declined to comment on what he expects from the meeting, though he wants Garcias report published as soon as possible with appropriate redactions.Though supportive of Russias hosting rights — which was paying tribute to what Russian and Soviet Union football have brought to the world — Champagne suggested Qatar could gain from ongoing investigations.I think it is even in the interests of the Qataris to make sure that this World Cup, if it takes place there, would be taking place with a free mind without keeping in the back of our brains all the controversies, he said.Champagne is the only prospective candidate to declare intent to rival Blatter, a longtime ally at FIFA, in a May 29 election in Zurich. Applications must be filed by January 29 with the support of five of FIFAs 209 member federations. Shaq Mason Jersey .

That assertion is getting harder and harder to make, especially given the way 23-year-old Danilo Gallinari has been playing this season.DENVER -- Frank Morales didnt try to paint corners or make perfect pitches. Instead, his strategy was relatively simple: Just pitch the ball and see what happens. In this instance, a lot of good things. Morales was masterful on the mound as he outdueled Madison Bumgarner, leading the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. "Frankies a tough competitor," manager Walt Weiss said. "He was absolutely huge tonight." Morales (2-1) knew it was his night when he unleashed his first sinker and it danced all over the place. He decided right then and there that he wasnt going to be too fine with his splitter or his cutter or even his sinker, just let the pitch do what it naturally does. The hard-throwing lefty allowed five hits over seven innings, which matches the longest outing of his career. His only mistake was a hanging slider to Hunter Pence in the fifth, which he hit for a homer. "I wanted to make sure the hitter is uncomfortable with my pitches," Morales said. Bumgarner (2-2) was nearly as effective as Morales, his only slipups on fastballs to Troy Tulowitzki and Nolan Arenado, whos solo shot in the fifth put the Rockies ahead for good. Bumgarner allowed nine hits in eight innings. It was the first complete game by a Giants starter in 2014 and third of Bumgarners career. "Im not frustrated for myself. We should be winning all these games right now, but just going through a rough patch," said Bumgarner, whose team has dropped five of six. "Its just about getting out of it as quick as you can." Morales hasnt fared all that well against San Francisco in his career, entering the game with a 0-3 mark and a 6.57 ERA. But he handcuffed the Giants most of the game. He worked his way into a jam in his seventh and final inning when he allowed a two-out double to his counterpart, Bumgarner. Morales struck out Angel Pagan with a sinking cutter -- his 99th pitch of the night -- to end the threat. Morales pumped his fist and let out a scream before heading toward the dugout. "All game I was throwing only fastballs away to (Pagan)," Morales explained. "I was like, OK, its time to throw my cutter down and in. Hes not looking for that pitch." No, he wasnt. PPagan wasnt the only Giant guessing at Morales assortment of pitches.dddddddddddd "Morales, hes just got good stuff," said Pence, who hit his second homer of the season. "A lot of life on his fastball." Things got a little shaky for Colorado in the eighth, when the Giants had runners on first and second with one out. Rex Brothers was summoned and enticed Pablo Sandoval to hit into a double play to quell the rally. Same thing with the ninth, when LaTroy Hawkins took over after Brothers got the first out of the inning. Hawkins walked pinch hitter Brandon Crawford and allowed a single to Gregor Blanco, who was also pinch hitting. Hector Sanchez, the third straight pinch hitter, struck out and Pagan bounced out to short to end the comeback bid. Arenado hit a solo shot into the seats in left to extend his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games. Hes hitting .365 during the streak, with two homers and six RBIs. Tulowitzki flashed his fielding skills in the top of the fourth and hitting proficiency in the bottom half. With runners at first and second and one out, the smooth-fielding shortstop dove in the hole to snare Joaquin Arias grounder, quickly getting up and throwing to second for a force out. That prevented a potential run from scoring. Tulowitzki then caught Ehire Adrianzas shallow fly to left to get the Rockies out of the sticky situation. Leading off in the bottom of the frame, Tulowitzki homered to left-centre. It was his third homer of the season. Mixing a 93-mph fastball with a late-moving cutter, Bumgarner kept the Rockies off balance most of the night in a hard-luck loss. "Bum pitched great. He did a real nice job," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Complete game, two runs in this ballpark. Thats a nice effort." NOTES: Adrianza wore jersey No. 6 instead of No. 53. ... The last Giants starter to throw a complete game in a loss was Barry Zito on June 18, 2010, at Toronto. ... RHP Matt Cain (0-3) searches for his first win of the season in the series finale Wednesday. The Rockies will throw RHP Tyler Chatwood (1-0). ... The Rockies have won five of six. ... The previous time Morales pitched seven innings was June 28, 2012, at Seattle when he was with Boston.
