LONDON - FIFA chief Sepp Blatter denied involvement in the corruption charges against election rival Mohamed bin Hammam on Thursday, expressing his 'shock and dismay' at the latest scandal to rock world football.

In a column on the respected InsideWorldFootball blog, Blatter said suggestions that the allegations against bin Hammam were politically motivated ahead of a June 1st presidential election were 'ludicrous'. 'I take no joy to see men who stood by my side for some two decades, suffer through public humiliation without having been convicted of any wrongdoing ...,' Blatter wrote in his column.

SAN FRANCISCO - SEVEN-TIME Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has hired two prominent attorneys who won a legal case involving the lead investigator in a current federal probe of Armstrong. San Francisco-based John Keker and Elliot Peters said on Thursday they were now representing Armstrong.

The attorneys won a major case for the Major League Baseball Players Association in 2009 when an appeals court panel ruled federal agents had no right to seize baseball's anonymous drug-test results from 2003. Jeff Novitzky had been a key investigator in that case, part of the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative investigation.
