Media taunts Titanic
BERLIN. July 8: The German press was not amused Saturday by the hoax fax claimed by satirical [I l d o i n pl magazine Titanic that had the international press probing possible corruption claims as Germany won the right to stage the 2006 World Cup instead of pre-vote favourites South Africa, reports AFP.
On Friday Titanic claimed authorship of the fax that some South African papers Saturday were still insisting may have played a role in Oceania FIFA delegate Charlie Dempsey abstaining Instead of backing South Africa, handing victory to Germany by one vote.
Dempsey will explain why he abstained on Monday. It is understood he is one of the FIFA delegates who had the fax -- purporting to be from the German bld team and offering gifts In exchange for votes for Germany -- slipped under the door of his hotel room on the morning of the vote.
Most Journalists quickly saw through the fax as a prank although some -- notably Britain's Channel 4 TV Channel and some British national papers -- were hoodwinked, giving the fax huge play in their coverage after the vote.
But as far as the German press were concerned Titanic's antics had tainted Germany's successful bid ami cast an unwanted shadow over their unexpected victory.
| Popular dally Bild said: "Bar Joke against Franz Beckett-I bauer" In a reference to the I German football legend whose I brilliant diplomacy was seen as I a cornerstone of his country's
Bild went on; "Germany was celebrating (winning the right to host) the World Cup - then a shock.”
It accused Titanic of bad taste and added: "It could have cost us the World Cup."
The paper published Titanic's phone number and invited its readers to "Tell them what you think".
Suddeutsche Zeitung said the fact It had taken so long to establish the fax was a hoax proved "how sensitive the sporting world has become".
"Since the Olympic Games scandal public opinion has lost all its illusions about the Integrity of numerous sporting chiefs."
That was reference to the International Olympic Committee " gifts for votes" scandal that rocked the IOC last year while there have also been allegations made about the election of FIFA president Sepp Blatter In 1998.
The paper also struck its own note of cynicism about Germany's bid saying it was unfair Beckenbauer's name had been unfairly caught up in the controversy (his name was mentioned on the hoax fax) before adding: "It would be totally naive to think Beckenbauer alone won the day and it was not down to numerous deals done in corridors."
They also called for a quick clarification of Dempsey's position .
The Berliner Zeitung said it was too serious a matter to debate the limits of satire.
It said the lax had shown "the weaknesses in a FIFA s\s-tem marked by nepotism and a democratic deficit as well as tin strong tendency ol the power players to brush under the car-
pet disturbing incidents."
The paper recommended that FIFA adopt a transparent voting system.
