Garcia has called for the 430-page document

Along with several members of FIFA 15 Coins the executive committee, Garcia has called for the 430-page document to be published in full. But the FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, has said the decision will be left to Eckert, who has indicated that only his summary will be made public.The issue sparked a row at FIFA’s executive committee meeting in Zurich last month between those members who wanted it to remain secret and those who wanted it published.Speaking at an event in London to an audience of US lawyers, Garcia said the two key elements to restoring public trust in FIFA within FIFA and among the public at large were transparency and the culture fostered by its leadership. “The investigation and adjudication process operates in most parts unseen and unheard,” he said. “That’s a kind of system which might be appropriate for an intelligence agency but not for an ethics compliance process in an international sports institution that serves the public and is the subject of intense public scrutiny.”In a coded attack on Blatter’s style of leadership and the cronyism that has characterised his 16-year tenure as president, Garcia said that a wholesale culture change was required to reinforce the rule changes made in the wake of a series of corruption scandals in recent years. “An ethics committee – even a serious, independent ethics committee backed by a strong code of ethics – is not a silver bullet,” said Garcia, a former US attorney for the southern district of New York.”What is required is leadership: leadership that sends a message that the rules apply to everyone; leadership that wants to understand and learn from any mistakes or mis-steps the ethics committee may have identified; leadership that makes it clear to everyone – ‘This is what we’ve set up the ethics committee to do, this is why they do it, and this is what they’ve done’,” he said. “It’s that kind of leadership that breathes the life into a code of ethics. Because true reform doesn’t come from rules or creating new committee structures. It comes from changing the culture of the organisation.”Garcia drew a distinction between the International Olympic Committee’s behaviour in the wake of the Salt Lake City scandal, which he said helped restore faith in the organisation, and the way the NFL has mishandled the Ray Rice case. “The value of transparency is evident from the experiences of other sports organisations.The deputy chairman of the adjudicatory chamber and I now have the task of drawing up this appropriate form for publication.“Part of my current examination involves deciding what form this appropriate publication should take, whether this means issuing a statement regarding the investigation report or whether certain parts of the investigation report will be published while maintaining anonymity, or indeed a combination of these possibilities. This decision is exclusively a matter for the adjudicatory chamber – neither the investigatory chamber nor the FIFA executive committee can decide. The main requirement is that personal rights must not be damaged.”Eckert, who has been under pressure to clarify his position, said in September that his own judgment based on Garcia’s investigation, likely to be delivered early next year, would not go down well with many at FIFA. “Many won’t like what I am going to tell them,” he warned.He also attempted to deal with claims that Garcia was compromised because he was an American citizen investigating a bidding race in which the US played an integral part. The US would be in pole position to host the tournament if it was stripped from Qatar.“It must be pointed out that the main report has been produced not by Michael Garcia alone, but also by the deputy chairman of the investigatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee, Cornel Borbely.
