Fifa whistleblower Phaedra Al-Majid fears for her safety

Fifa whistleblower Phaedra Al-Majid says she will "look over my shoulder for the rest of my life" after making allegations of corruption against Qatar's successful 2022 World Cup bid.
A two-year investigation has cleared the Gulf state of wrongdoing.
Now Al-Majid, whose testimony was not regarded as reliable, says she is paying the price for speaking out.
"I've been introduced to a whole new culture of paranoia, fear and threats," Al-Majid told BBC Sport.
"I will always look over my shoulder for the rest of my life."
Qatar's World Cup organising body has always "vehemently" denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
