Former FIFA president Joseph Blatter told the truth about the receipt by Qatar of the right to host the World Cup in 2022. He wrote about this in the book "My Truth". Blatter argues that no one read the report of the organization's special inspection on candidates for the tournament. According to him, the officials decided in advance as a result of the collusion. "If we carefully read the report, we would see that the World Cup can not be held in Qatar", - quotes Josef newspaper The Times. He stressed that FIFA vice-president Michel Platini was asked to change his voice to Nicolas Sarkozy and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

However, the official himself denies that such a conversation was.

"I do not know and do not want to know whether there was a connection between the receipt of Qatar's right to host the World Cup and what happened next. Doha spent billions of euros on aviation contracts with France and on the purchase of Paris's PSG football club, "added the ex-president of the organization. Recall that Josef Blatter and Michel Platini suspended from football activities for 8 years. However, later the Sports Arbitration Court reduced the term to 6 years.
