Blatter wants teams relegated over racism

Fifa president Sepp Blatter says football bodies should have the power to relegate teams if their fans commit racist acts.

Blatter, who is currently running for his fifth straight term in office, hopes the stricter punishments will act as a deterrent.

"We have to punish not only through fines and stadium closures but we have to use our rules to suspend teams, to take away their points or even to relegate them if racism continues," he said.
