The United States Soccer Federation has stated their commitment to the "highest ethical standards and business practices" in response to the FIFA corruption case opened by United States and Swiss authorities.
Fourteen people, among them FIFA officials and corporate executives, were indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on charges including money laundering conspiracy, racketeering and wire fraud on Wednesday.
In their statement, the USSF throws their support behind the ongoing investigation's attempts to stamp out corruption.
The statement reads: "The United States Soccer Federation firmly believes there is no higher priority, and nothing more important, than protecting the integrity of our game.
"We are committed to the highest ethical standards and business practices, and we will continue to encourage CONCACAF and FIFA to promote the same values.
"Out of respect for the ongoing investigation, we will not speculate or comment further on this matter at this time."
Following news of the case, the North American Soccer League announced it has suspended chairperson Aaron Davidson, and all business between the league and Traffic Sports.
Davidson, who is also the president of Traffic Sports USA, is one of the 14 indicted defendants in the Department of Justice's case.
"In light of the ongoing investigation announced by the U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday, the North American Soccer League's Board of Governors has suspended Chairperson Aaron Davidson, along with all business activities between the league and Traffic Sports, effective immediately. Commissioner Bill Peterson will serve as acting Chairperson.
"The Carolina RailHawks, the sole NASL club owned by Traffic Sports, will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business. The club's management team will continue to manage the day-to-day operations."
