Invigorated by his FIFA election win, Sepp Blatter dismissed any suggestion Saturday that the American investigation into soccer corruption could yet lead to his door. Several senior FIFA officials have been arrested already, but Blatter shrugged of the notion that he could be next. Next question,'' Blatter dismissed curtly, in his first meeting with international media since the dual American and Swiss investigations rocked FIFA's home city Zurich on Wednesday.
