Calls for 2022 World Cup bid to be re-run after bombshell evidence emerges that Qatar used a £3m slush fund to bribe its way to victory

MPs have called on Fifa to strip Qatar of the 2022 World Cup after it emerged illicit payments of £3 million were made to corrupt officials. A damning email dossier revealed today shows how former president of the Asian Football Confederation Mohamed Bin Hammam (pictured) used the slush fund to garner support for Qatar's bid to host the tournament. John Whittingdale, chairman of the Commons culture select committee, said there is now an 'overwhelming case' to re-run the bidding process.
