Of course it was corruption. Who in their right minds would give Qatar the world cup to host unless bribed. Yeah, let's give them the world's biggest sporting event to host with infrastructure built on modern day slave labour. Even with guys like Platini, Sepp and Warner gone that game is still full of corruption.

Given Platini was arrested for awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, I believe that Qatar should be disqualified from hosting the coming world cup event.
