Qatar's World Cup bid faced prejudice, says bid chief as whistleblower retracts bribe slur

The chief executive of Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid believes 'prejudice' is behind the allegations of corruption against the bid.
Mohamed Bin Hammam, the country's representative on the FIFA executive committee and a key figure in bringing the showpiece tournament to his nation, has been provisionally suspended by the world governing body and will face an ethics committee hearing next week after being accused of bribing officials during the voting process.
FIFA members Issa Hayatou, Jacques Anouma and Amos Adamu were alleged to have received bribes - only for the 'whistleblower' behind those claims, Phaedra Al Majid, to retract them and claim she had fabricated them as revenge for losing her job.
Bid chief Hassan Al Thawadi told the Guardian: 'I do not believe these claims are being made out of racism. But I genuinely think that ignorance fed into prejudice and made it a more fertile ground for these rumours to take seed and grow.

FIFA confirmed they have received an email from Al Majid, a former international media officer for Qatar 2022, retracting her allegations.
FIFA said in a statement: 'FIFA can confirm receipt of an email from a person claiming to have made allegations related to the Qatar 2022 bid process
