Havelange had initially responded well to a treatment of antibiotics to control the infection but he suffered a relapse on Monday and is now struggling with respiratory and cardiac problems.The former International Olympic Committee (IOC) member is no longer breathing unaided and Dr. Joao Mansur Filho of the Samaritano Hospital in Botafogo has described Havelange's condition as "serious" once more. Havelange, who retains the title of an honorary president with Fifa, was forced to call time on his long administrative career within the game because of his health problems.
