GENEVA - A Qatari whistleblower has lodged a complaint about her treatment in the World Cup bid corruption report by FIFAs judge, and an Australian woman who gave evidence during the investigation has complained about the denigration of the pair.Former Qatar bid worker Phaedra Almajid told The Associated Press on Monday that she wrote to FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia about judge Joachim Eckert breaching her right to witness confidentiality. It was sent late Sunday to the email address at the Manhattan law firm where Garcia is a partner.In the letter of complaint, which has been seen by the AP, she wrote that Eckert falsely discredits me in order to support his indefensible conclusion that the December 2010 bidding was wholly acceptable.Bonita Mersiades, who worked on Australias bid for the 2022 World Cup and gave evidence to Garcia under the condition of anonymity, added to the criticism in an article for the Guardian newspaper on Tuesday.It says much about FIFA and those inside their tent that they felt it necessary to engage in a denigration of the two women who had been courageous enough to say something, Mersiades wrote. It is one thing to discount our discussions and the evidence - an investigator is entitled to do that - but it is extraordinary to single out two individuals and detail (mostly incorrectly) the contact with Mike Garcia, especially when we were assured in writing and in person that our dealings with him were confidential.Almajid and Mersiades protests adds to a chaotic response since Thursday when FIFA released Eckerts summary of the Garcia investigation into corruption in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contests won by Russia and Qatar, respectively.Both Russia and Qatar have always denied any wrong-doing.Garcia himself said his was work was misrepresented by Eckert and appealed to FIFA. He is challenging the German judges decision to close the case because problematic wrong-doing by candidates was of limited scope and did not justify reviewing the votes by FIFAs executive committee.Almajid gave evidence to Garcia alleging wrong-doing by Qatars bid when she was its head of international media until early 2010.She said Eckerts report denounced her as unreliable in a crude, cynical and fundamentally erroneous summary of her co-operation.My co-operation was based on your promise of confidentiality, Almajid wrote to Garcia.Though not named by Eckert in his 42-page document, Almajid was easily identified — in a section covering Qatar titled Role and Relevance of a Whistleblower — from her previous public statements. She was named in a July 2011 statement in which she retracted her claims of corruption, but later said she was coerced to do so by Qatari bid officials.Almajids most serious allegation was aired by a British Parliamentary committee in May 2011, that African members of FIFAs ruling board were paid $1.5 million to vote for Qatar in a five-nation contest.She also made allegations to Garcia of Qatars $1.8 million sponsorship of an African football meeting in Angola in 2010, and how the Aspire Academy in Doha was used to further the emirates campaign.Still, Eckert wrote that Garcias investigation report concluded that it appeared that the (whistleblower) source has altered evidence to support its allegations.Almajid said speaking out had jeopardized the safety of herself and her two sons.I have taken great personal risks to stand up for the truth in a highly politicized atmosphere, she wrote to Garcia. However I have found myself betrayed and denigrated for being courageous enough to come forward with critical information.Garcia must now decide whether to use Almajids complaint to prosecute a case against his ethics committee co-chairman for unethical behaviour.Mersiades, who has written but not yet published a book on her experience during the World Cup bid, said she was asked to participate in Garcias investigations, and felt the responsible thing to do was to share with him what I knew and what I had observed; I explained to him up front that I had no smoking gun but lines of inquiry that might be useful, depending on what else he learned.Eckert and Garcia are scheduled to meet this week for talks to resolve their rift. They should also co-operate on ongoing prosecutions against individual FIFA voters. Dmitry Kulikov Jersey . The 2010 batting champ showed what he can do when hes mostly healthy.

Bjugstad had two goals and an assist to lift the Florida Panthers to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Brad Boyes and Brandon Pirri also scored for the Panthers. Roberto Luongo, who returned after missing Tuesdays game with an upper-body injury, made 27 saves. Bjugstads goals -- his first two after 21 games -- came less than three minutes apart in the third for his first two-goal and three-point game of his career. "It was a good night," Bjugstad said. "We had to get pucks to the net. First game for that goalie and we wanted to get shots on him. It worked out for us." Paul Ranger and Tyler Bozak scored for the Maple Leafs, and MacIntyre stopped 33 shots. The 30-year-old was making just his second appearance for Toronto this season. "Its been a long, long time but it was awesome. I have few regrets," MacIntyre said. "I was hoping it would be a win, thats how I envisioned it." MacIntyre was drafted by Detroit in the 2001 NHL Draft, which took place in the Panthers arena. "I looked up right at the end of the anthem and saw the Draft 2001 flag and I smiled at myself and said, Its been a fun ride. ... I found it so funny that this rink is my first game." The Panthers won for just the third time in 12 games. The Maple Leafs, who were in playoff contention most of the season, have lost six straight road games in regulation and are 2-11-0 in their last 13 games. The Maple Leafs were eliminated from post-season contention on Tuesday after a 3-0 loss at Tampa Bay. "Very challenging time right now for our group mentally," Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said. "II thought wed have a little bit more compassion for the goaltender that was going in the net for his first NHL start.dddddddddddd... Its very disappointing." At times, the Leafs certainly played like a team that was going through the motions. "Its the first one since were officially out, so its tough. Thats no excuse, weve got to have more pride than that," Bozak said. Leading 2-1,the Panthers stretched their lead on a wraparound goal by Bjugstad, who came from behind the net and stuffed it past MacIntyre at 3:23 of the third. "Its good to get that off my back and not worry about it anymore," Bjugsatd said about ending his scoring drought. Bjugstads second goal made the score 4-1. His short-handed shot from in front off a pass from Tomas Fleischmann easily got by MacIntyre at 6:02. Rangers shot from the point made the score 4-2 with 6:03 left. Boyes broke a 1-1 tie with 3 seconds left in the second. Bjugstad brought the puck from behind the net and passed in front of the crease to Boyes on the right side. He tapped the puck past MacIntyre. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on Pirris goal 6:06 in. Pirri fired a shot from the top of the left circle and it hit the top right of the net. Pirri has points in five of the past six games. "Getting points is nice, but the team won in the end. Thats whats important," Pirri said. "Were just trying to build every game and every day get better." The Maple Leafs tied it 1-all on the goal by Bozak. Jake Gardiner dropped a pass to Bozak in the left, who wristed to past Luongo on the glove side for his 19th goal of the season, a career-high. NOTES: Pirri celebrated his 23rd birthday on Thursday. ... MacIntyre has played for over nine different minor league teams over a 10-year career. ' ' '
