Andrew Jennings Knihy

V knize FAUL! se Andrew Jennings, přední světový investigativní sportovní novinář, zabývá fungováním organizace FIFA a odhaluje řadu nekalých praktik. Tikající časovaná bomba v bankovních záznamech FIFA. Jak byli přední sportovní funkcionáři nuceni obrátit kapsy naruby a vrátit úplatky? Co je pravdy na pověstech o zmanipulovaném hlasování výkonného výboru FIFA? Pozoruhodný případ výdajů na prezidentovu kampaň. Jak fotbaloví funkcionáři přinutili vetché starce Nelsona Mandelu a Desmonda Tutua cestovat tisíce kilometrů a podřídit se FIFA. Viceprezident FIFA, který tvrdí, že židovští rozhodčí na svou práci nestačí. Přidělování lukrativních zakázek lidem, kteří mají styky ve FIFA. Tvrdý boj o moc, kvůli němuž hrozí rozkol FIFA. Od září 2005 FIFA a její prezident Sepp Blatter tajně naléhali na švýcarský soud, aby zamezil vydání knihy FAUL!, a to s pomocí výhrůžek, že nakladatel i autor mohou zaplatit pokutu nebo skončit ve vězení. Návrh na zákaz vydání byl zamítnut a FIFA a prezident Blatter se odvolali. Proč se FIFA ze všech sil snažila zabránit, aby se kniha dostala čtenářům do rukou?

Kniha, kterou lze považovat za definitivní portrét úpadku FIFA a mužů, kteří ukradli fotbal. Ve své nejnovější knize Špinavá hra britský investigativní novinář Andrew Jennings, který proslul jako neúnavný kritik poměrů v zákulisí mezinárodního sportu, odhaluje šokující rozměry korupce a podvodů v nejvyšších patrech světového fotbalu. Své poznatky prezentoval i v prestižním pořadu televize BBC Panorama a zásadním způsobem přispěl k největšímu zemětřesení v Mezinárodní fotbalové federaci (FIFA) za více než sto let její existence. V téměř detektivní story, která by se mohla jmenovat „Blattříčku, zavírej vrátka“, Jennings rozkryl mafiánské způsoby fotbalových šéfů, podrobně popsal jejich zločiny a důkazy o nich předal americké FBI. Další vyšetřování pak vedlo k zatčení několika členů výkonného výboru FIFA a rezignaci prezidenta Seppa Blattera. Poutavé vyprávění zkušeného žurnalisty se opírá o léta rešerší i práce v terénu, při níž objevil řadu dosud nezveřejněných dokumentů.

The world of modern Olympic sport is a secretive, elite domain where decisions are taken behind closed doors, where money is spent on creating a fabulous life-style for a tiny circle of officials and funds destined for sport are siphoned away to offshore bank accounts. This investigation of the hidden corruption behind the Olympic ideal how Princess Anne's attempt to unseat the unpopular athletics supremo Primo Nibiolo was sabotaged by secret deals from within, how bribes were paid to win gold medals for Korean boxers in the Seoul Olympics, that Berlin's bid for the 2000 Olympics was so corrupt that the State parliament set up an enquiry, that millions of dollars are spent by bidding cities to woo those who decide where the games will be held, when in fact often the decision has already been made, and that the Olympic number two, Korea's Dr Kim Un Yung, is a trained killer and a former spy.
