Doubts have been raised as to
whether the World Cup trophy
is made of solid gold as
claimed by the football
governing body FIFA.
A British chemistry professor, Martyn Poliakoff of Nottingham University, has concluded that the trophy, or at least part of it, must be hollow. He says his calculations show that a solid gold trophy of that size, just under 40 centimetres high, should weight at least 70 kilograms. FIFA's website says the World Cup trophy weighs six kilos. |
