Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, has insisted his organisation is not inherently corrupt after allegations of corruption made against two members of the organisation's executive committee.

Amos Adamu, from Nigeria, and Reynald Temarii, from Tahiti, were suspended on Wednesday after The Sunday Times claimed they had agreed to accept financial payments in order to vote for the United States to host the 2018 World Cup finals.

The British newspaper recorded conversations with the pair which they allege prove their case. Fifa had said they were also looking into claims of vote swapping between nations bidding to host the 2018 or 2022 finals.

Fifa will announce the hosts for each tournament on December 2. The ethics committee apparently ended their investigation into collusion on Wednesday. It still brought inevitable concerns over the process - something Blatter was keen to counter.

"Fifa is a well organised institution, if there are some activities they are against our morals. Let us do our jobs, and bring back credibility in Fifa," he said.

"You can never avoid this, that everybody behaves like we would like. Society is full of devils, and you find them in football. We have to fight for fair play, for respect and that the people in charge of Fifa behave like they should do.

"I appeal and expect all members of the Fifa family to behave in an honest and sincere matter."
