FIFA intervened directly in Indonesia’s football crisis on Monday
FIFA intervened directly in Indonesia’s football crisis on Monday, announcing it was appointing a committee to take over from the local federation on an interim basis.
FIFA said in a statement that the so-called normalisation committee would organise elections for the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) leadership by the end of next month, stop a rebel league and run the association on a day-to-day basis.
The decision followed chaotic scenes 10 days ago when an assembly to organise the first PSSI elections in four years was called off after opponents of chairman Nurdin Halid stormed in claiming they had been stripped of voting rights. Halid was jailed in 2007 for misusing funds but continued to run the PSSI from his cell.
“The FIFA emergency committee came...to the conclusion that the PSSI leadership had lost all credibility within Indonesia and was not in a position any more to lead the process to solve the current crisis,” said FIFA in a statement.
FIFA added that the PSSI’s lack of control was “proven by the failure to gain control of the breakaway league, set up without the involvement of PSSI, or by the fact it could not organise a congress whose sole goals were to adopt an electoral code and elect an electoral commission.
The normalisation committee would consist of Indonesian football personalities who would not be able to run in the PSSI positions and would act as an electoral commission, said FIFA.
“The mission of the normalisation committee is to organise elections based on the FIFA electoral code and PSSI statutes before May 21, to bring the run-away league under PSSI control.....(and) to run the day-to-day activities of PSSI in a spirit of reconciliation for the good of the Indonesian football,” it said.
Halid is in his second term as PSSI president but has faced growing criticism at the poor performances of Indonesian teams, especially the senior national side which is 129th in the world rankings. The three-month old breakaway league has attracted teams from the PSSI-supported Indonesia Super League (ISL), a host of southeast Asian players and former England international Lee Hendrie.
Despite a huge soccer-mad population, Indonesia’s only World Cup appearance was in pre-independence days in 1938 as the Dutch East Indies and is not recognised by the PSSI. Indonesia have only played four times at the Asian Cup, going out at the first hurdle every time, and its clubs have never reached an Asian Champions League final.

Lorenzo Juara Dunia MotoGP 2010
Jorge Lorenzo Juara Dunia MotoGP 2010. Dari hasil balapan MotoGP Sepang 2010 kemarin, Jorge Lorenzo memantapkan diri sebagai Juara Dunia MogoGP 2010. Meski finish diurutan posisi 3, Lorenzo berhak mendapatkan juara karena dia hanya mengumpulkan 7 poin saja. Semula dikabarkan Lorenzo tak yakin bakal memegang tropi ini. Dia hanya ingin fokus dalam balapan saja.

| Lorenzo Juara Dunia MotoGP 2010 |
Juara dunia MotoGP 2010 direbut Lorenzo (Fiat Yamaha) karena setelah seri XV GP Malaysia, raihan angkanya 313 poin tak mungkin disusul Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) 228 poin (terpaut 85) dengan tiga seri tersisa (total poin 75). Pedrosa absen di Jepang dan Malaysia karena cedera patah tulang pundak. Posisi ketiga Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) 181, keempat Casey Stoner (Ducati Marlboro) 180 dan kelima Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) 179.
Meski masih menyisakan tiga seri lagi, jumlah poin Lorenzo tidak lagi terkejar oleh Rossi atau pun Dani Pedrosa. Ironis buat Rossi, di musim terakhirnya bersama Yamaha, malah dikalahkan pembalap yang dulu di bawah bayang-bayangnya.

The B-EU-tiful game?
As we never tire of pointing out, the Lisbon Treaty has made sport an EU competence, which means various EU initiatives, decided on by majority voting, in this area are sure to be coming our way soon. The Commission is due to carry out a consultation with member states and relevant organisations in the first half of 2010 regarding the implementation of the Treaty's sports provisions, with the first 'sports programme' expected in 2012.The UK's Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe visited Madrid only this month to meet with his Spanish counterpart to discuss what might be on the agenda for sports regulation this year. Some may remember that in 2008 he managed to resist French plans - launched under its EU Presideny - for an EU-wide 'super' regulator for football, and other sports, which would have seen European football association UEFA able to enforce guidelines on the English Football Association. Then French Sports Minister Bernard Laporte said provocatively that the EU should help address the dominance of English teams in the Champions League.
FIFA was lurking in the background trying to establish its 6+5 rule, which would have made it compulsary to field six domestic players, which would have hamstrung the big English clubs.
However, the UK managed to convince the EU that its free movement rules should apply and the proposal subsequently died a death, although UEFA's watered down 'home-grown' rule was accepted. A spokesman for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said at the time, "We support the special nature of sport but cannot support block exemption from EU law."
Up to now the European Court of Justice has used EU free movement and competition law to rule on cases concerning professional football, treating it as any other economic activity. In it's Bosman ruling it denied authorities the right to set player quotas by nationality and allowed players the freedom to move clubs for free once their contracts had expired.
However, the introduction of the Lisbon Treaty changes the game. It allows the EU to take into account "the specific nature of sport" and potentially exempt it from the rest of EU law, including free movement and competition provisions laid down under the Single Market. The UEFA President has long argued that football should be treated as its own entity, distinct from EU employment regulation, which would allow him to regulate as he sees fit.
And it seems that UEFA is going to test the current legal ambiguity with a new set of proposals aimed at curbing the spending of Europe's biggest clubs by banning heavily indebted clubs from European competitions. The Premier League will once again be in its sights.
The proposal states that its aim is to "improve the financial fairness in European competitions", which is striking similar to a clause in the Lisbon Treaty that says "promoting fairness and openness in sporting competitions" shall be an objective of the Union.
If the big clubs or the big leagues were to protest against these proposals it will be up for the EU to decide how to interpret the Treaty and the ambiguities outlined above.
The fact that Lisbon formally makes sport an EU competence only serves to strengthen the power of the EU to shape how football will be regulated in the future. The voting rules under Lisbon also mean that the UK is unable to veto EU initiatives in this area, which could prove highly significant.
And in the end, the new rules mean that the UK could be powerless if UEFA has the EU's backing to push its new proposals through.

Please
Via the very useful Euractiv we learn that, now that the Lisbon Treaty is in force and the EU has the power to legislate on sport, the European Commission is set to launch a "wide stakeholder consultation" to prepare for the first EU sports programme, expected in 2012.
Reading through the EU Sport Commissioner's ideas for such a 'programme', we're finding it hard to keep a straight face.
In particular, he wants the programme to "Contribute to the promotion of European values (physical and moral integrity of sportspersons, fairness of competitions): projects could address issues such as doping, racism and protection of minors".
Since when were the physical and moral integrity of sportpersons and fairness of competitions European values? Bit of an arrogant insult to the rest of the world wouldn't you say? And looks pretty stupid coming hot on the heels of the Ireland/France World Cup Qualifier!
