No not about the corrupt part, that’s more than accepted at this point, I mean more about what sort of reaction this guy and the Russians have when it comes to certain things to do with the WC in regards to the World sporting community who go along (ie “not object”) with the IOC on the Olympic banning of Russia. Retribution for the personal affront and attack on Russian sport.

Would certain countries press (or coaches, or players) be banned from entering the country,for example? Or passport issues just before a game against Russia? Sudden operational snafus etc. Wouldn’t want to be playing in Russia’s group or past the group stages.
