Good morning, America. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by daily for your morning headlines.

It's the 12th of November, 2015, and Sepp Blatter is still, technically, president of FIFA.

Liberian football association chief Musa Bility wanted to run for FIFA president but he failed the federation's integrity check. This is not good for Bility. I mean, how corrupt do you have to be for FIFA to not even let you run in the first place?

With world soccer on an international break, it's been a bit of a slow news week. But keep an eye on Spain's matches. Iker Casillas is one game away from tying the European caps record of 165 set by Latvia's Vitālijs Astafjevs in 1992.

Cristiano Ronaldo bought a private jet. It cost 19 million euros. I'm surprised it took him this long.

Ronaldinho is apparently a big fan of Michael Jackson. The footballer showed off some Michael memorabilia on his Instagram page.

Vladimir Putin has ordered an investigation into doping in Russian athletics. This comes after WADA published a damning report of institutionalized doping in that country. Putin's position is a new one for Russia. Up to this point, most officials in the country have said WADA is wrong and biased toward the country. But who knows? Putin's investigation also might come to that very conclusion!

Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton was in a little fender bender in Monaco. But he's okay!
