FIFA has issued a response to questions about Salt Bae breaking rules at the World Cup final, suggesting the chef gained "undue" access.
Salt Bae, real name Nusret Gokce, joined Argentina's players on the pitch as the Albiceleste celebrated their triumph. He had his hands on the trophy at times, contrary to FIFA rules, and the governing body has finally issued a response.
"The original FIFA World Cup Trophy can only be touched and held by a very select group of people, which includes former winners of the FIFA World Cup and heads of state," FIFA's rules state. Now, three days after the incident, an investigation into it all has begun.
