SHADOW culture secretary Chris Bryant apparently called for a broadcasting blackout of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups yesterday unless the bid process was rerun.

The Labour frontbencher said it would be “wholly inappropriate” for BBC and ITV to hand cash over to corruption-wracked Fifa “unless and until (Fifa president Sepp) Blatter has actually left — rather than just declared he is leaving — Fifa is reformed and the 2018 and 2022 bids are rerun.”

He asked Culture Secretary John Whittingdale during Commons questions: “With the news from Chuck Blazer and Jack Warner, isn’t it increasingly evident that Fifa is a stinking sink of corruption and it has polluted everything it touched?”

Former vice-president Warner, one of 14 people charged by US authorities, said he had documents linking Fifa officials to the 2010 election in Trinidad & Tobago while Blazer, a Fifa executive committee member until 2013, has admitted accepting bribes.

Whittingdale replied: “I share your astonishment that even today the new claims being made by Jack Warner, this whole saga becomes more murky and distasteful by the day.

“However, if the World Cup goes ahead, then I think it would be unfair to tell (fans) that they would not be able to watch their sides compete in the World Cup.

“I think it’s a separate matter — the important thing is we get this cleared up long before we actually get to the World Cup in 2018.”

Warner said yesterday that he would reveal “secrets” about top Fifa officials, adding: “Not even death will stop the avalanche that is coming. The die is cast. There can be no turning back. Let the chips fall where they fall. Blatter knows why he fell. And if anyone else knows, I do.”
