Footballing chiefs should rerun the vote for the 2022 World Cup if an FBI investigation proves corrupt payments were made during the bidding process, Tory MP Damian Collins said yesterday.

The Daily Telegraph claims the FBI is investigating payments from a company wholly owned by Qatari Mohamed Bin Hammam to fellow former Fifa member Jack Warner, from the Caribbean.

Both men left Fifa in disgrace following a 2011 corruption scandal.

Qatar World Cup chiefs insisted yesterday that they adhered to Fifa rules.

Damian Collins, who used parliamentary privilege in 2011 to state allegations that two Fifa members had been paid to vote for Qatar 2022, said: "If the FBI investigation can prove that corrupt payments were made to Fifa executives in connection to the decision to award that country the World Cup, they should lose the right to host the tournament and the competition to stage World Cup 2022 should be rerun.

"These reports will only fuel concerns that the decision to award Qatar the World Cup was made for money reasons, not sporting ones, and that's wrong.

"The report on the FBI investigation suggests a web of lies and corruption at the highest levels of Fifa," said the MP.

"This is something Fifa has never fully investigated and if these allegations are proven there has to be a top to bottom review of the roles and workings of members of Fifa's executive committee."

Warner and Bin Hammam's Fifa careers ended in disgrace after they were caught up in a corruption scandal surrounding Bin Hammam's campaign for the presidency of the world governing body in 2011.

Qatar's 2022 World Cup organising committee said in a statement: "The 2022 bid committee strictly adhered to Fifa's bidding regulations in compliance with their code of ethics.

"The supreme committee for delivery and legacy and the individuals involved in the 2022 bid committee are unaware of any allegations surrounding business dealings between private individuals."

The scandal is the latest to rock Qatar's controversial awarding of the World Cup, with an ongoing debate about shunting the tournament away from the 50?C and upwards summer months and ongoing concerns about the appalling conditions for workers in the country.
