English FA chairman Greg Dyke questioned the fitness of FIFA presidential candidate Sheikh Salman of Bahrain. Sheikh Salman’s role in pro-democracy demonstrations by the Shiite majorityhas been questioned, though the Bahraini royal and his legal team that vigorously pushed back on media criticism. “The question is, said Dyke, “does it matter whether or not he was involved, oris it the fact, can you have someone from Bahrain running world football, in charge of world football, given what happened there four years ago? I personally have my doubts.”
