A former South American soccer official was acquitted in the FIFA bribery scandal on Tuesday and walked out of the courtroom saying he's finished with the world's most popular sport. Burga said he would go home to Peru and resume a career as a lawyer after 15 years as a soccer executive. During the trial, Udolf insisted his client never took a bribe. On Tuesday, Udolf credited Burga for insisting on a trial and saying he never agreed to anything. Udolf said Burga would return to his childhood home, where he now lives modestly with his wife and two children.
