Reuters “Fifa’s Sepp Blatter deserves Nobel prize, says Russia’s president Vladimir Putin” http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/27/fifa-sepp-blatter-nobel-prize-russia-president-vladimir-putin
FIFAのブラッター会長が７月25日にサンクト・ペテルブルグでプーチン露西亜大統領と会談する一方で、プーチンは瑞西の放送局RTS*2のインタヴューで、ブラッターにノーベル賞を与えよという発言を行っている；
５月に米国の司法当局がFIFAの腐敗に介入した際に、プーチンは内政干渉してるんじゃねぇよという批判をかましていたのだった*3。
Russia’s president said of his Fifa counterpart: “We all know the situation developing around Mr Blatter right now. I don’t want to go into details but I don’t believe a word about him being involved in corruption personally,” he said. “I think people like Mr Blatter or the heads of big international sporting federations, or the Olympic Games, deserve special recognition. If there is anyone who deserves the Nobel prize, it’s those people.”
