Michael Garcia, the ethics investigator behind the FIFA report looking into the bidding process to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, has quit in protest over the handling of the report.

The 430-page corruption report is being kept confidential by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Garcia wants it to be made public.
