I'm afraid that this story does not come as a great surprise.
The vast amounts of money involved in the professional game, combined with what appears to the outsider as a lack of transparency and accountability inside FIFA, the sport's governing body, make stories like this almost inevitable.
That's quite apart from the fact that human beings are often greedy, dishonest and corrupt.
How about a return to amateurism across all sports?
