Intro:

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has refused to answer questions about the controversial Garcia report on World Cup bidding corruption in Colombo on Tuesday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE Sepp Blatter, FIFA president

"I will make no comments on a report by Mr. Garcia... because I have no right to do so... otherwise I would be against the regulations of FIFA and then people would have the right to say 'Blatter, now take the fruit and go!'"

SOUNDBITE Sepp Blatter, FIFA president (repeating his previous answer)

"Listen, I just answered that. I cannot give any answer to your question because otherwise the FIFA president will be against its own statutes and regulations and I cannot do that. 209 national associations of FIFA, they wouldn't be happy."
