Laurent Blanc has today been cleared of any wrongdoing in the ongoing race scandal that is threatening to tear the French Football Federation apart. Race scandal? Yeah, you know, the race scandal in French football? You don't know?! What a surprise.

Allow me. There has been a massive uproar in France this past week about the fact that a French website reported that members of the FFF's technical board had met in November and discussed introducing race quotas at French football academies.
