Chung Mong-joon claims to be victim of smear campaign by FIFA ethics committee

FIFA presidential hopeful Chung Mong-joon believes that the football body's ethics committee is seeking to suspend him from the organisation for 15 years.

FIFA presidential hopeful Chung Mong-joon has claimed that the football body's ethics committee is seeking to suspend him from the organisation for 15 years.

The 63-year-old was allegedly told that he violated six articles from the world football governing body's code of ethics.

He has denied all claims and added that it stemmed from his "support" for his country's 2022 World Cup bid and his proposal for a Global Football Fund.

Chung told a press conference: "The true danger is that they are not only sabotaging my candidacy. They are sabotaging FIFA's election and FIFA itself."

Chung, along with UEFA president Michel Platini, Prince Ali and Liberian FA president Musa Bility are confirmed candidates for the election, due to be held on February 26 next year.
