The suspended Asian football chief Mohamed bin Hammam is unhappy at the way information was leaked during a bribery investigation but wants a fair trial when he appears at a Fifa Ethics Committee meeting later this month.

Bin Hammam is facing allegations that he attempted to bribe members of the Caribbean Football Union in order to secure their votes in last month's Fifa election.

"Throughout this there've been continuous leaks," he said. "Despite all these, I'm still looking for and hoping to receive a fair hearing."
