The English FA is now back-pedalling furiously, having sucked up to Fifa top dog Gianni Infantino for years. There’s Joao Havelange; or you may prefer Sepp Blatter of blessed memory; then there’s Cameroon’s Issa Hayatou; and now of course dear old Gianni. Nevertheless, we shouldn’t fall into the trap of believing we’re all morally superior. The Commonwealth Games are more about individuals, while the Olympics seem to be more about states trying to do each other down. The mile record has a glorious past, too, with the spirits of Bannister, Coe and Ovett hovering near the finish line.
