“I was seated with [Gomez] before his press release (Monday) and I saw in him looking like a very regretful person that is looking for help. He renounced the work that he has done with FIFA in this World Cup. He is ruined; he has problems at home, with his mother and his job,” explained Bedoya.

“Incidents such as this can not be repeated; the (Colombian Soccer) Federation has a responsibility to the country and because of such we must evaluate this situation,” Bedoya pointed out.
