FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Adidas , a long-standing sponsor of FIFA, "would have a problem" with the global soccer body if it was found to have broken the law by a U.S. investigation into bribery, the company's chief executive told a German paper.

"We expect from our partners that they abide by the laws. If a partner is convicted we have a problem with that. We then have to solve that," Kasper Rorsted told Bild am Sonntag, without elaborating.
