Football's biggest stories of the week on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½. World Football this week tackles a couple of sensitive issues, but issues which threaten to undermine the credibility of the game. Tapping-up of youngsters has been labelled "child trafficking" by football's governing body, which slapped a transfer ban on Chelsea last week. They may not be last club punished. And when sixteen international footballers were uncovered as age cheats recently, little was made of the matter. World Football presenter Alan Green asks whether the time has come to take the matter more seriously.
