Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, the FIFA Council member who also runs the Olympic Council of Asia, said on Sunday he was resigning all his posts in football after being drawn into the latest bribery scandal to hit FIFA.

The Kuwaiti issued a statement on Saturday “strongly” denying that he was one of the Asian Football Confederation officials described in U.S. Court documents as allegedly bribing a member of FIFA’s audit and compliance committee, Richard Lai.

“With regards to alleged illegal payments to Richard Lai, I can only refer to my previous statement and vigorously deny any wrongdoing,” Sheikh Ahmad said on Sunday.
