White House says FIFA president's re-election is up to its members

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Friday it had no response to the re-election of FIFA President Sepp Blatter, despite a scandal involving allegations of corruption in world football. "This is a decision for that organisation, that's now in some turmoil, for them to make. And we'll let them make it," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Blatter was re-elected after the only other candidate conceded defeat on Friday. (Reporting by Roberta Rampton; Writing by Emily Stephenson; Editing by Bill Trott)
