ZURICH, May 29 (Reuters) - A former FIFA reformer told Swiss radio on Friday that soccer's world governing body should be regulated by Switzerland, after seven senior soccer officials were arrested in Zurich on U.S. corruption charges and now face extradition.
Mark Pieth, a Swiss professor and former head of FIFA's independent governance committee who recommended a number of reforms for the organisation, said events this week beg a change.
"If we see circumstances like those we are currently experiencing with FIFA, then we don't have much choice other than the government becoming involved," Pieth said in an interview with Swiss radio DRS.
