Bin Hammam cries foul over FIFA charges

PARIS - Suspended Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Mohamed bin Hammam has pointed a finger at his accusers as he prepares for a FIFA corruption hearing in Zurich beginning on Friday.

The 62-year-old Qatari has been suspended since May following allegations he attempted to bribe Caribbean soccer officials to vote for him in the FIFA presidential election.

On Friday, he will go before FIFA's ethics committee to learn his fate, but in a personal blog post written on Wednesday he asked why the people to whom he allegedly offered bribes had not also been the subject of an investigation.
