Fifa bosses have secured tickets for some of the most prestigious 2012 Olympic events, while families of those competing have not been given priority.
One would have thought that the only event anyone involved with Fifa should be seen it would be a humble pie-eating competition.
Ann Kruse, whose son is performing in the men's individual foil event (fencing), says she will not be able to watch him, as they were unsucessful with the ticket lottery system.
Her son was also involved with the design of the Olympic village and won a world silver medal for fencing last month.
As if the 2012 Olympics weren't disgusting enough, Sepp Blatter will have an access-all-areas pass, according to The Times, as will his secretary general, while some of those who are closest to those competing in the Olympics won't even be able to see them.
