Man...When i saw this (minister saying "Under investigation?...No World Cup!") i just thought :
"Bang!Another personal communication plan!..."
Nowadays it's all about com

Politics = Press or Press = Politics...I don't know...
For the press,it's holy bread : write papers,show pictures (private or not,shocking or not who cares except the intimates?But they're rich no?...) and sell a lot
For the politics it's more something like "look how i'm strong,you can rely on me i defend the holy flag..." and get votes,or new "friends"...
Well,i'm not a pro in communication,"public relation" and all...But that's how i feel about all this...
Now,about Rib' ,we must admit that if he's guilty,it is not that easy to let him represent France out there...You must know that it's illegal here in France (sex with -18 ),and that he does risk some "high punishment" (it can be some light little prison!...) So i will understand that people could find it a bit shocking to let a "gangster" hold the World Cup trophy for its national team...
But i agree with ya that all this is not a big deal (if he was only the "client",the girl seems to be knowing exactly what she was doin...earning money)) and only involves his intimicy (wife,family...) We should let him alone about this...As we should let the Tiger alone about his private life...And let hem play their sports!
