PARIS (Reuters) -An audit commissioned by the sports ministry of France's soccer federation (FFF) concluded on Wednesday that FFF president Noel Le Graet no longer had "the necessary legitimacy" to administer and represent the sport in France, bringing the 81-year-old to the brink of resignation.

The audit, the conclusions of which were made public on Wednesday, also "highlighted the inappropriate behaviour of Mr Le Graet towards women".
