Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke has been put on leave and released from his duties until further notice. A Fifa statement said it had "been made aware of a series of allegations involving the secretary general". Newspaper allegations on Thursday implicated Valcke, 54, in a scheme to sell World Cup tickets for above face value. The Frenchman, who has held his role at Fifa since 2007, said he denied the "fabricated, outrageous" allegations. Football's world governing body Fifa has been engulfed by claims of widespread corruption since May, when Swiss police raided a hotel in Zurich and arrested seven of its top executives.
United States officials have since indicted those seven and two other Fifa officials on bribery and racketeering charges. President Sepp Blatter announced that he would stand down just days after winning re-election in June. Valcke, who last month was considering standing to be the new president, is Blatter's number two at the organisation but now faces a formal investigation by the Fifa ethics committee.
Earlier on Thursday Eugenio Figueredo, one of the seven officials arrested in May, had his extradition to the United States approved. As well as the US inquiry, a Swiss investigation is looking into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Fifa has recently set up a taskforce to tackle corruption which aims to "restore the integrity and reputation" of the organisation.

His absence has been a major handicap for the new Lions badly in need to rebuild after the debacle in Brazil. Despite the emergence of some few geniuses like Clinton Njie and Vincent Aboubacar, Cameroon national team performance remains subdued struggling in every game ever since the qualifiers started.
In Cameroon, there seem to be a boycott of the team by the sporting public that feels aggrieved by the absence of Samuel Eto'o. Information has filtered that a mission was sent to the four times African player of the year winner to convince him to return to selection.Papa Eto'o reportedly did not wish to comment at this time on this matter. But what we do know is that the move was orchestrated by the President of the Republic via Prime Minister Yang Philemon, ignoring Minister Adoum Garoua, Cameroon's minister of sports.
