FIFA report on the race to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups makes no suggestion that Russia should lose the right to stage the tournaments.
The 430-page report, released on Tuesday, had been under wraps since being completed by FIFA's then-ethics investigator Michael Garcia.
On Russia, Garcia said that Russia's prime minister and now president, Vladimir Putin, had actively supported his country's bid and had a significant presence, but that "there is no apparent violation of the FIFA rules of conduct in this regard," Reuters reported.
"There is no evidence in this record to suggest that the Russia bid committee attempted to exert undue influence on any FIFA executive committee members in order to secure their votes," Garcia added.
