It's entirely possible that Beckenbauer is being used as a convenient fall guy here, but it's also safe to assume that anyone associated with the selection of Qatar is dirty in some fashion.
 
Being shocked at this is like being shocked that Rafael Palmeiro tested positive for PEDs.

Beckenbauer obviously a bit of a surprise there.
