IOC says Infantino complaint outside its scope

Fifa president Gianni Infantino gave US president Donald Trump the inaugural Fifa Peace Prize in December The International Olympic Committee says it will not investigate Gianni Infantino as a complaint about the FIFA president is outside its scope."The current complaint, with regard to the FIFA president, refers only to the international federation's decisions on its governance and its management, including its relations with government, and to the international federation's implementation of the rules of its sport, which are both outside the scope of application of the IOC code of ethics," it said.

The IOC statement came a day after it emerged the Norwegian Football Federation was considering filing a formal complaint to Fifa's ethics committee about the decision to suspend Balogun's automatic one-match ban.
