#FIFA under #G #Infantino
accused not only of #blackmail by Prince Ali (#Jordan) but also "#intimidation"!!
Any details on that?
BUT
@FIFAcom's crisis is #structural
a) needs #independent ethics #regulator
b) Presidency should be #rotated to each continent (@CAF / @UEFA etc)

[Tim Gluckman @TimGluckman]

#FIFA
#G #Infantino planned a #nepotism deal w/ #Joshua #Kushner, bro of #Trump's son-in-law

Never made clear that meant 20% of #FIFA's profits f/ #WorldCup wd in 2030 be hived off 4 #JK & Co
Eg if profit = $5B, JK would get $1B.
& in return?
But NOT for #GI to sell
Plan died!

UK #Horse #racing faces makeover
@methven_charlie prediction was right (s. TWs below)
Richer courses eg Aintree (s. pic) / Epsom FF #Ascot's lead ie @jockeyclub told @TheRCA they're leaving
Why? UK has too many fixtures & courses
On @bizzofsport at 48.40 https://t.co/ZCEPVwjkoo

[Tim Gluckman @TimGluckman]

#Horse #racing / #HR
Royal #Ascot dont say say it openly but @methven_charlie is sure
message = is: if #HR to thrive in UK, £££ must be focused on top end
So 5/26 resigned f/ Race Course Assoc
Bc tiny courses just wont ever attract many

1981 only 18 #black-#footed #ferrets left in wild (in S #Dakota)
There had been millions but govt paid ppl to kill "#vermin"
Why?
Bc dig holes in pasture & #ranchers wrongly thought bad 4 cattle
Actually #aerates #soil & make habitats for 150 (!) fauna

#Rewilding #China I 1981 Dr Liu Yinzen sat down to write re crested ibis.
He'd walked 50000k asking #peasants if they'd seen photod bird (a la #Mao!)

Last #tiger shot 1948 as "vermin"
In 2010 K began tiger's return patiently & #correctly w/ replanting eg flora suitable 4 a top-level predator & fauna eg deer it wd hunt. K created a large park 4 it NOT jungle but marshy
Release planned carefully & 1 tiger

[Miguel Poiares Maduro @MaduroPoiares]

Time for @UEFAcom and other opposing confederations and FAs to consider legally challenging his candidacy. This will also mean that they are serious about term limits at FIFA and no longer condone rules being ignored or manipulated.

[Miguel Poiares Maduro @MaduroPoiares]

There is another way to topple Infantino. He cannot be a candidate to what would be his 4th term of office. The interpretation of Art 33(2) of the Statutes made by him and the administration to allow that is simply wrong. They put it forward because no one opposed him.
