GENEVA -- It was the FIFA ethics investigation many hoped would remove Russia and Qatar as World Cup hosts.But two years after disputed details of the so-called Garcia Report into the 2018-2022 World Cup bid campaigns were first revealed, it is still not close to being published.Switzerlands federal prosecution office suggests it might take three more years before its investigation of alleged FIFA-linked money laundering is complete and the 430-page dossier can be published.FIFA critics and presidential candidates have often demanded that the Garcia Report -- read in its entirety by perhaps as few as seven authorized people -- be released to help judge if the hosting contests were won fairly in a December 2010 vote of the soccer bodys scandal-tainted executive committee.Michael Garcia, the FIFA ethics prosecutor who led the investigation, himself asked for appropriate publication that would protect witnesses before he resigned to protest how his work was handled.Still, the American lawyers report was the basis of a criminal complaint by FIFA to Switzerlands federal prosecutors on Nov. 18, 2014 -- and must stay sealed and confidential during that case.The Swiss federal investigation of suspected criminal mismanagement and money laundering during the 11-nation bid campaigns might not be over when the next World Cup kicks off in June 2018 in Moscow.This type of criminal proceeding (is) time consuming and resource intense. Usually, respective proceedings take some three to five years, the office of Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber said in a statement to The Associated Press.As the report in question is to be seen as evidence in ongoing criminal proceedings, the OAG hardly sees any legally justifiable way the report (can be) published, the Swiss federal office said.Laubers team currently has 172 suspicious transactions which passed through Swiss banks to examine.Adding to the Swiss workload, prosecutions of alleged corruption that spun off the original FIFA case are ongoing against former president Sepp Blatter, fired secretary general Jerome Valcke, and organizers of the 2006 World Cup including Germany great Franz Beckenbauer.A further complication is that potential witnesses, including some FIFA voters six years ago, are scattered worldwide, have not returned to Switzerland and previously refused to answer Garcias questions.Garcias ultimately short career at FIFA is defined by an investigation many hoped would lead to a re-run of the 2018-2022 hosting votes.Appointed in July 2012 by an executive committee he would investigate, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York was given unlimited time and resources but limited evidence-gathering powers within a new FIFA Code of Ethics.In September 2014, Garcia submitted his 350-page investigation into seven bid candidates, plus a further 80 pages of files on American and Russian bids which were investigated by his deputy, Cornel Borbely.On Nov. 13, 2014, FIFA published a 42-page summary by chief ethics judge Joachim Eckert. It left Garcia furious.Eckert wrote that while he saw certain occurrences that were suited to impair the integrity of the vote, they were limited in scope. The German judge advised Blatters executive committee to let the results stand.Within hours, Garcia hit out at numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of facts and conclusions. He challenged Eckerts summary at the FIFA appeals committee.Garcia resigned a month later after FIFA dismissed his appeal.The Report identified serious and wide-ranging issues with the bidding and selection process, Garcia wrote in a resignation statement, citing his lost confidence in Eckerts independence and Blatters leadership.Garcia has not commented since, and declined comment to the AP for this article.As Garcia and Eckert very publicly fell out, FIFA filed the Swiss criminal complaint and further legal opinions were sought which supported Eckerts position. Blatter later invited Eckert to publish a redacted report when any subsequent ethics cases were complete.At least two known cases -- involving former FIFA vice president Chung Mong-joon and former bid inspector Harold Mayne-Nicholls -- are still active, FIFA told the AP in a recent statement. Both men got reduced ethics ban at the FIFA appeals panel and could go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Due to ongoing ethics proceedings and the possibility that further cases might be opened in the future, a publication of the `Garcia Report is not possible at the moment, Eckerts office said in a statement.It is Lauber, however, who is set to shape the legacy of the multi-million dollar Garcia investigation.Garcia himself wrote, in summary by Eckert, about the limitations of his work.To assume, e.g., that envelopes full of cash are given in exchange for votes on a FIFA World Cup host is naive, the 42-page summary stated. Corruption, also in general business not linked to football, is executed in much more sophisticated ways, including money transfers through several different accounts of consultants, trusts, offshore companies, etc.Laubers federal prosecutors have the mandate to explore those channels within a criminal case that he formally opened in 2015 -- on March 10, Blatters birthday.

Rangana Herath (2-24) took up the mantle with the ball after Malinga, afflicted by a knee strain in recent months, missed out on selection, with Afghanistan posting 153-7 thanks largely to captain Asghar Stanikzais career-best 62 off 47 balls.Dilshan (83no from 56) then collected his 13th fifty in T20I cricket - a record he shares with Chris Gayle (West Indies), Brendon McCullum (New Zealand) and Virat Kohli (India) - and mowed three sixes as Sri Lanka eased home with seven balls to spare following the openers pull for four.Afghanistans innings hinged on Stanikzai after beefy opener Mohammad Shahzad, fresh from totals of 61, 41, and 40 in the qualification stage, holed out for eight and Mohammad Nabi, who hit 52 last time out against Zimbabwe, went lbw for three to leave the score on 51-4.Stanikzai clobbered back-to-back sixes off slow left-armer Milinda Siriwardana in the 13th over and four maximums in total, the 29-year-old sharing a stand of 61 from 31 balls with Samiullah Shenwari (31 from 14) for the fifth wicket while amassing his highest score in T20I cricket. Asghar Stanikzai hit four sixes in his career-best 62 Stanikzai perished attempting a ramp shot - becoming one of Thisara Pereras (3-33) scalps - but helped his side biff 104 runs from the final 10 overs, with Najibullah Zadran (12no from three) adding gloss at the death with a monstrous six over cover and a meaty four through the same region. Dilshan and Dinesh Chandimal (18) , though, unleashed some lavish strokes of their own - the former nailing a six over fine leg with his famed Dil-scoop - as Sri Lanka put on 41 for the first wicket before Nabi had Chandimal pouched at midwicket from his second delivery.dddddddddddd.Sri Lanka teased a wobble when Lahiru Thirimanne (six) dragged teenage spinner Rashid Khan on, wicketkeeper Shahzad ran out Perera (12) and Nabi ousted Chamara Kapugedera (10) off his own bowling by flicking Dilshans straight drive onto the non-strikers wicket.But skipper Mathews backed up his economical work with the ball (1-17) by supporting Dilshan with an enterprising late cameo with the blade (21no from 10), although Afghanistan - in the Super 10s for the first time in their history - were left to rue some sloppy ground fielding during an otherwise valiant display. Sri Lanka celebrate the wicket of Mohammad Shahzad Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews: It was a much-needed victory for us as we havent played well in the recent past. Our bowlers did well except for two big overs and we were positive from the word go with the bat. We are not looking too far ahead but if we click we can do wonders as a team. Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai: I thought we were 10 or 15 runs short with our total, although Dilshan played very well for Sri Lanka and showed a lot of responsibility. We also made mistakes with our fielding, so hopefully we can improve that in our next game.Sky pundit and England seamer James Anderson: I thought Afghanistan got a lesson in how to chase down a total from Dilshan - he showed all his experience and skill by taking on low risk shots all the way through a chanceless innings. It was great to watch.Sri Lanka and Afghanistan return to World T20 action on Sunday, with the former tackling Englands conqerors West Indies in Bangalore (1.30pm, Sky Sports 2) after Afghanistan battle South Africa in Mumbai (9am, Sky Sports 2).
