Champagne backs U.S. World Cup if Qatar bid proven corrupt

PARIS (Reuters) - The 2022 World Cup should be hosted by the United States if the Qatar bid is proven to have been corrupt, FIFA presidential candidate Jerome Champagne said on Tuesday. "If it had to be reconsidered, there should not be another vote but we should apply the IOC (International Olympic Committee) jurisprudence, give the gold medal to the silver medalist," the Frenchman told French radio RTL.
