Some believe the US violated international law when it attacked Venezuelan boats supposedly carrying drugs. There hasn’t been any investigation. Remember FiFA President Infantino let Balogun play after Trump called. Perhaps some countries have influence. Wouldn’t it be simpler to just let the best players compete?
Simpler, sure. Morally incorrect. America should be investigated for attacking those ships, and if it was found to be a warcrime, they should be held to task.
Didn’t you claim the action was illegal? Then why was there no investigation? That’s the problem with barring countries from competing because of bad behavior. Countries with influence won’t be investigated. It’s simpler to allow all countries to participate.
This argument is ludicrous. Something either is or is not moral, and is or is not illegal. Being caught and convicted doesn’t change that. It was illegal. It was immoral. It should be investigated. Countries that commit warcrimes should be sanctioned, and countries with influence should not be above the law.

But was there an investigation?
By whom?
That’s the point, there was no investigation.
Ok? I…I agreed there should be? I’m not sure what your point here is?

If the UN investigates the US, Trump will threaten to withhold money. Trump will impose tariffs on any country supporting banning the US.
I think it’s simpler not to let the thieving, cheating Russians compete. Someone has to pay the price for Putin.
