International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach stressed that it is "absolutely necessary" for FIFA for undergo reform.
Thomas Bach warned FIFA must be braced for a similarly "painful experience" which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) also endured in order to reform.
IOC president Bach stated there is "no comparison" between the bribery scandal which left the football world governing body's reputation in tatters and the Salt Lake City corruption.
The IOC expelled members over the awarding of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002 and Bach believes FIFA should learn the lessons his organization had to in order to rebuild its reputation.
