BBC Panorama's claims of corruption against FIFA vice-president Issa Hayatou are to be investigated by the International Olympic Committee.
Hayatou is also an IOC member and Panorama have alleged he was given a bribe worth £10,000 in 1995 by the now-defunct marketing company ISL.
The IOC said in a statement: "The IOC has taken note of the allegations made by BBC Panorama and will ask the programme makers to pass on any evidence they may have to the appropriate authorities. The IOC has a zero tolerance against corruption and will refer the matter to the IOC ethics commission."
