FIFA has certainly become the gift that keeps on giving.
Despite the best efforts of our Scandalometer, it was outdone with the news that current FIFA president Sepp Blatter and future candidates Michel Platini and Chung Mong-joon have all been given bans or suspensions of varying lengths.
The latest events have changed the complexion of next February's presidential race to a degree, especially with the developments of early favourite Platini, who incidentally is still receiving backing from the English Football Association despite being at the centre of an investigation over an alleged "disloyal payment".
That sort of throws candidacies to the floor with other candidates potentially sniffing a glimmer of hope of taking charge of the race.
So who are the names to look out for?
Prince Ali
The Jordanian truly made his mark when he forced incumbent Blatter into a second round of voting during May's election.
Given that he came relatively close five months ago, he may consider himself to have a decent chance of gaining a foothold in the race, especially with the cloud hovering over Platini who he was critical of recently.
He has already confirmed that he is putting himself in the running for the next election.
Michael van Praag
The Dutch FA head initially ran in the May election, before withdrawing to clear the path for Prince Ali. Given that he is vice-president to Platini at UEFA, Dutch media outlet NOS has speculated whether he might be interested in becoming the head of European football if the Frenchman were to leave for any reason.
Luis Figo
Like Van Praag, the former Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid great also withdrew from the FIFA presidency race last time out. However, there is no indication as of yet that he will seek to be a candidate once again.
What he does have in his favour is that he is a candidate from outside a FIFA family which continues to be tainted by corruption allegation, and also given his background as a former football superstar, he could try to present himself as the true football man.
Musa Bility
The head of the Liberian FA put himself forward in June, but significantly lacks the backing of his own confederation, CAF, who publicly stated that they will not be throwing their support behind his candidacy.
That would appear to be a significant spanner in the works if he sees himself as a serious candidate.
Salman Al-Khalifa
The Bahraini has been in charge of the Asian Football Confederation since 2013 and also serves as the Deputy Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
Al-Khalifa had been fulsome in his backing of Platini prior to recent events, but with the changing winds there has been rumours speculating that he may put himself forward as a presidential candidate at FIFA.
He did appear to rule out running in a statement, saying: "I have noted recent media speculation that my name has been suggested by others but, while I would like to thank them for their trust and confidence in my leadership, the thought of being a candidate in 2016 had not crossed my mind."
But with the uncertainty surrounding key candidates, there could be a temptation to put himself forward.
Zico
The Brazil legend also signaled his interest in FIFA's top job back in June, but like Figo, his footballing gravitas is not matched by experience of heading up major international organisations.
And he also appears to have hit a few roadblocks in his bid to become a candidate.
