A soccer red card was reversed for the first time ever. European lawmakers suspect the US was behind it.

No proof exists yet, but if true, it would mean a government interfered in sports decisions. The lawmakers have limited power to force change, but they're trying to mobilize pressure through national soccer bodies.
