Academic authors Dr Jeff Collins and Dr Ross MacKenzie submitted a paper to the journal questioning the ethics of sports bodies, like FIFA, which officially partner companies such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Budweiser.

The authors also queried FIFA’s decision to allow smoking in German stadiums after winning an anti-tobacco award from the World Health Organisation for the 2002 World Cup. Details: www.thelancet.com
