Chung said he was sent a transcript of Thompson's 'rather incoherent interview' with cheap fifa 16 coins ethics investigator Michael Garcia.He added: 'In the transcript, Mr Thompson does not even remember whether Prince William was present when he and I and PM Cameron were allegedly making this deal.

'My question is, Is it even conceivable that Mr Thompson and I would be making an illicit "vote trading" deal in such company? Is FIFA accusing Prince William and the Prime Minister of Great Britain of being complicit in vote trading the day before the vote? If so, they should be investigating the Prince and PM Cameron as well.'

Chung said the vote-trading charge was then dropped and that it only came about as a result of Thompson needing 'someone to blame' after the 'major embarrassment' of only securing one vote.

He also questioned why FIFA's ethics committee had not taken action against Blatter over the ISL bribery case - where he did not investigate bribes being paid to senior officials - or secretary general Valcke, who was said in a US court to have lied repeatedly to card giants Mastercard in order to secure a sponsorship deal with VISA.

Chung added: 'If the ethics committee was truly independent, it should have banned Mr Blatter for hellofifa.com life for the ISL case 20 years ago. Both Mr Blatter and Mr Valcke should have been banned for life for their manipulation of the VISA-MasterCard case.'
