Hargitay and Australia's Shame, Continued

This great shame of Australian football, the appointment of Peter Hargitay as an advisor to our 2018-2022 World cup bid, is beginning to raise some eyebrows. An author whose work I admire, Steve Menary, author of "Outcasts: The Lands that FIFA Forgot" sent me a note with a suspicious "Hmm" concerning the foul choice of Hargitay as Australia's fixer. Like many others, he had heard of Hargitay's sordid past and I suspect it wont be long before everyone from anti-apartheid activists (Hargitay worked for the fugitive sanctions-violator Marc Rich) to drug enforcement agents (Hargitay went to prison for drug smuggling) are up in arms . Better still would be for FIFA to wake up to Australia's bid and the decay it reflects.
