UEFA and AFC 'observes' are not welcome

At first he is nowhere to be found this whole time and suddenly he speaks out. Maybe by just knowing that all is over by now and he is making his last efforts to salvage out of the campaign...
Only four days remaining until FIFA's big decision day, Jerome Champagne is in the news again. In fact the Frenchman is criticizing, with a formal complaint, that his two rivals supported by continental governing bodies (UEFA and AFC) will have enormous and unfair advantage ahead of Friday's vote. He told the FIFA election monitors on Monday to cancel 20 extra passes for 'observes' from UEFA and 7 from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) entering the election hall in Zurich. The 57 year old is saying that allowing extra accreditations would 'betray  a gross violation of the principle of fairness'.
Should be any breaches or irregularities in the FIFA election race the Court of Arbitration for Sport is the right address for complaints.
