FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced his resignation following a massive FBI indictment led by Attorney General Loretta Lynch targeting an "organized crime syndicate" within international soccer. The investigation has caused high-ranking officials to avoid travel to countries with strong U.S. extradition treaties, such as Canada. Analysts suggest this marks a permanent shift in how international sporting bodies are held accountable for financial crimes and bribery.
