According to Sky Sports, Blatter "discussed the issue on Tuesday" in Marrakesh, Morocco, where Fifa officials are convening ahead of their two day conference, which starts on Thursday. The Swiss president of the game's governing body is said to have broached the issue of whether the 430-page report should be published with several Fifa executive committee members.
