Ethics committee member calls for FIFA overhaul

SYDNEY (AP) - The only Australian member of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) ethics committee said football's world governing body urgently needs "complete structural" reform.
Veteran football broadcaster Les Murray, one of 13 members of the committee, attended Sunday's hearing at which executive committee members Mohamed bin Hammam and Jack Warner were provisionally suspended amid bribery allegations.
Asian Football Confederation president bin Hammam, who withdrew from the FIFA presidential race, CONCACAF chief Warner and two other Caribbean officials have been stood down pending an investigation.
Murray tells the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper the "reform has to be very deep ... there probably has to be complete structural and also constitutional reform." Source
