Chung slams poll monitors

FIFA presidential contender Chung Mong-joon has criticized election monitors who cleared the Asian Football Confederation of improperly supporting Michel Platini.

The former FIFA vice president from South Korea says the FIFA-appointed committee investigated for only three days and forfeited its “duty to ensure the fairness of the election.”

He filed a complaint after the AFC sent members a template letter soliciting support for Platini, the UEFA president. Asian leaders publicly support Platini despite two home contenders: Chung and former FIFA vice president Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan.

The FIFA election panel will approve candidates in November after integrity checks.
