Will you please send that document to the UEFA, FIFA, FFF (fédération française de football) and all clubs of the capitalist World. Naturally, do not forget the referees ! Russian athletes should know that according to his market's values (sponsoring, sell of tee-shirts etc.) certain stars are protected; as well as their club. I have seen Zidane spit on the face of a Getafe's player, 2 meters from the referee and the man in black did not say anything. Any other player doing the same thing will have been sent off. This kind of situation happen every week because, in sport like in all aspects of the western World: MONEY is everything. The system is gangrened whole the way to the bone. Russia; please try to do better ! Sincerely...JCM
