GENEVA - Investigations of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes should be given more time to finish, according to FIFA presidential contender Jerome Champagne. Pat Valaika Jersey .Ahead of the FIFA executive committee reviewing the case next week, Champagne suggested Wednesday that the hosting status of Russia and Qatar were still open to question.I only hope that the truth will come, Champagne told The Associated Press in an interview, regarding the FIFA boards choices in December 2010. We have time and that is why we need to do things correctly after four years of controversies.We need to protect the World Cup and we need to know if the 14-8 votes integrity has been respected or not, he said, referring to Qatars margin of victory over the United States in a final round of voting in the 2022 contest.Champagne said a few more months were needed to finish the investigations and finally deal with the case, which has long been linked to claims of vote-buying, collusion and favour-seeking.Champagne said that FIFAs own ethics probe of the hosting votes, an investigation which he believes is underway by the FBI, and FIFAs criminal complaint to the Swiss attorney general — relating to conduct of unnamed individuals — are all unresolved.Also, ethics prosecutor Michael Garcia has opened cases against five past and current FIFA officials including Germany great Franz Beckenbauer, a former board member who voted in 2010.We need to know what has happened. And to continue the process until the end, said Champagne, who was FIFA international relations director until leaving in January 2010.Still, any FIFA case against Russia and Qatar seemed closed last month by ethics judge Joachim Eckert, in a summary judgment of Garcias sealed 430-page investigation report.After Garcia challenged the German judges findings, they agreed at peace talks to give FIFAs audit and compliance chairman, Domenico Scala, authority to decide which key details are presented to the executive committee. It meets Dec. 18-19 in Marrakech, Morocco.FIFA President Sepp Blatter will lead the boardroom debate which could include three longstanding members — Angel Maria Villar of Spain, Michel DHooghe of Belgium and Worawi Makudi of Thailand — currently being prosecuted by Garcia.Champagne declined to comment on what he expects from the meeting, though he wants Garcias report published as soon as possible with appropriate redactions.Though supportive of Russias hosting rights — which was paying tribute to what Russian and Soviet Union football have brought to the world — Champagne suggested Qatar could gain from ongoing investigations.I think it is even in the interests of the Qataris to make sure that this World Cup, if it takes place there, would be taking place with a free mind without keeping in the back of our brains all the controversies, he said.Champagne is the only prospective candidate to declare intent to rival Blatter, a longtime ally at FIFA, in a May 29 election in Zurich. Applications must be filed by January 29 with the support of five of FIFAs 209 member federations. Nolan Arenado Jersey .

PHILADELPHIA -- Wilin Rosario got some words of encouragement and then broke himself and the Colorado Rockies out of an offensive slump. Rosario hit a go-ahead, three-run homer and Jorge De La Rosa pitched six strong innings to lift the Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. Rosario entered the game without a hit in his previous 13 at-bats, but he got a pep talk from De La Rosa before the game. "I told Rosario in the training room before the game, You have to do something to win the game," a smiling De La Rosa said afterward. "And he did." Drew Stubbs went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI for the Rockies, who had lost four of five while being outscored 16-0 in their two previous games. "That was a great win because we battled hard," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We had a tough night (Monday). This team shows up well every day, and they turn the page. They went out there ready to win a game tonight." Ben Revere hit his first career homer in his 1,466th at-bat, and Darin Ruf also went deep for the Phillies. The start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 22 minutes due to rain. De La Rosa (6-3) continued his strong stretch, allowing one run and six hits with four strikeouts and two walks. The left-hander is 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA in his last seven starts. He wiggled out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the third when he got Revere to ground out, Jimmy Rollins to pop out and Chase Utley to fly out. "I just tried to keep the ball on the ground," De La Rosa said. "Thats how I got out of it." Said Weiss, "I feel like the game kind of turned right there. That was critical." Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg agreed. "Came back to haunt us," Sandberg said. "Thats a big momentum inning for them getting out of it. . Theres just something about getting the job done in that situation." Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels (1-3) was cruising along until walking consecutive batters with one out in the seventh. After Justin Morneau flied out for the second out, Rosario broke out of a slump by lifting Hamels first pitch just over the wall in right to give Colorado a 4-1 lead. He had been 0 for 15 before the homer, his sixth in 10 career games at Citizens Bank Park. "That was a big hit for him, a real money hit," Weiss said. Jon Gray Jersey. Said Hamels, "If the pitch is down, its a definite different result. Its just a poorly executed pitch. I have to be able to make that pitch." Hamels left after the seventh after giving up four runs and three hits with four strikeouts and those two walks. Reveres one-out homer off left-handed reliever Boone Logan in the seventh just cleared the wall in right to pull Philadelphia within 4-2. Revere pointed skyward after crossing the plate, then grinned while receiving congratulations from Rollins before entering a silent dugout. His teammates relented after a minute or so and mobbed the smiling Revere. "Its a good feeling," Revere said. "When I got to second base, I didnt know what to do. I was trying not to smile but some guys got on me. It was fun. Ill try to hit 400 more." Rufs fourth-inning homer to left tied the game at 1 and halted De La Rosas scoreless streak at 15 1-3 innings. Ruf was starting at first base in place of left-handed slugger Ryan Howard, who sat against the lefty starter despite going 3 for 4 with a homer and five RBIs in Philadelphias 9-0 win over Colorado on Monday and knocking in 14 runs in his last nine games against the Rockies. It was the first homer of the season for Ruf, who was activated from the disabled list last Wednesday after recovering from a left oblique strain. Howard pinch hit with one out and two on in the eighth against righty Adam Ottavino and grounded into an inning-ending double play. It was the 58th double play of the season for the Rockies, who led the majors in that category entering Tuesday. Colorado got on the board first with a run in the fourth on Troy Tulowitzkis hard-hit sacrifice fly. Tulowitzki, the NL batting leader who entered hitting .447 off lefties, went 0 for 2 against Hamels. NOTES: Rockies LF Carlos Gonzalez was lifted after the fourth inning due to a right calf contusion. He is day-to-day. .
