Michel D'Hooghe
Michel, Baron D'Hooghe is a Belgian member of the FIFA Council and Chairman of the medical committee of the FIFA. D'Hooghe, a medical doctor, was President of the Royal Belgian Football Association and Chairman of the medical committee of the FIFA. He was President of Club Brugge KV. In 2001, he was ennobled as a baron.
In August 2011 he admitted that Vyacheslav Koloskov, an adviser for Russia's successful bid for the 2018 World Cup, visited him in his hometown of Bruges and gave him a valuable painting while lobbying for his vote. He has since described the painting as a "poisonous gift" and has notified FIFA officially about it, since its acceptance is in contravention to the FIFA rules that govern lobbying.
