FIFA President Sepp Blatter says its key officials should be required to pass integrity checks. The 79-year-old Blatter used his column in FIFA's weekly magazine to float reforms. Blatter didn't address a recent report he could perform a U-turn and stand in the fresh presidential elections. Four days after being elected for a fifth, four-year term, Blatter abruptly announced plans on June 2 to resign from the scandal-tainted world body. FIFA says he stands by that statement. A July 20 executive committee meeting will decide the election date, and Blatter says it will also take "decisions on extensive changes to the FIFA structure." Blatter says he endorses a motion from German Football Association President Wolfgang Niersbach to introduce "independent integrity checks for all members of the most important FIFA committees." http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/133183.aspx
