LONDON -- FIFA executive committee member Amos Adamu denied any wrongdoing in a World Cup vote-selling scandal on Thursday, despite being provisionally suspended from duty.
The Nigerian official issued a statement to "wholly refute all allegations made" by British newspaper The Sunday Times, which alleged Adamu and fellow FIFA ruling executive member Reynald Temarii offered to sell their votes for funding toward soccer projects.
Adamu said he supported an ongoing investigation by FIFA's ethics panel that on Wednesday suspended the two officials until it next meets in mid-November.http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/id/5710912/amos-adamu-fifa-executive-committee-denies-wrongdoing-vote-selling-scandal
