Blatter gives up IOC seat
Under pressure FIFA leader Sepp Blatter on Monday gave up his International Olympic Committee seat because he will soon end his reign in charge of world football.
Blatter was among a group of eight IOC members who should have sought re-election on Monday at a meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
He has said he will stand down as FIFA president on February 26 when an election for a new leader will be held.
