After Sepp Blatter was re-elected as FIFA president Friday, he was interviewed by a Swiss television station. "Why would I step down? That would be only an admission of wrongdoing on my part," he said. Four days later, he stepped down. Enough said, writes USA TODAY's Christine Brennan. It's been a major scandal for soccer's governing body, and Blatter just couldn't survive. Last week, the U.S. Justice Department and Attorney General Loretta Lynch released details of a widespread indictment involving nine senior FIFA members, including a vice president. Blatter wasn't named, but Lynch was dropping thinly-veiled hints about what might be coming. Amid all that, Blatter was re-elected to his post, which he's held since 1998. But yesterday's report by The New York Times seems to be the smoking gun that prompted the stunning turnaround. According to the Times, FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke is alleged to have authorized a $10 million transfer — money U.S. officials say was used to bribe others into voting in favor of South Africa hosting the 2010 World Cup. More: Sepp still sees himself as the hero, writes Martin Rogers. The soccer world is going nuts. Read Blatter's full statement here.
