So that's another really interesting component of it.

The Ethics Committee is one of its judicial mechanisms, right?

It upholds breaches of things that happen off the pitch.

It doesn't seem that there was a committee that was brought into...

to adjudicate on the Peace Prize.

It seems to have been done by Infantino himself.

That's another component, actually, of the complaint.

He's not allowed to do that.

He's not allowed to take unilateral decisions on the strategic direction of FIFA.

That's supposed to be done by the FIFA Council, this new body that was brought in after the scandal that brought down Blatter.

But the problem with FIFA is that, you know, since those reforms came in, they've actually been done in such a way that has allowed Infantino to centralise power.

So he's acting increasingly like the sort of dictators who he seems to admire and sort of, you know, going out on his own.

And that's what the Peace Prize was, it seems.

And are there any mechanisms in place that make him susceptible to the idea that he's gone out on a limb to do this?

Like, is there anybody that he has to answer to for essentially going against the ethics committee in terms of neutrality, which is essentially what he did by awarding the Peace Prize?

No, I mean, again, that's one of the main problems.

I mean, you have these committees, you have the ethics committee.

It's supposed to be there and it's supposed to uphold the laws and the rules of FIFA.

But it doesn't.

You know, there's repeated instances where anyone of any seniority is challenged within that body.
