In 2011 FIFA started an inquiry into possible match fixing concerning Chaibou (and others who were not named). The matches were friendlies and most goals came from penalties. Friendlies are often a bit dodgy, the matches are often organized by companies that have ties with gambling syndicates. The matches in South Africa, before the World Cup were organized by a company called Football4U which has had dealings with a infamous gambling boss called Wilson Raj Perumal.
