Scandal
After doing some part-time modelling work, Alam took at job at The Football Association in July 2003 as personal assistant to executive director David Davies, based at the organisation’s headquarters in Soho Square, London.
She soon began an affair with chief executive Mark Palios. At the conclusion of that affair, she then had an affair with then England football team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. In August 2004, after the revelation of her affairs came to the attention of the public she resigned her post.
In October 2004, Alam made claims against the Football Association of sexual harassment, unfair dismissal, and breach of contract. In September 2005, her claims were rejected by an industrial tribunal.

Famous quotes containing the word scandal:
“Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
“There is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.”
—George Farquhar (1678–1707)
“A famous theatrical actress
Played best in the role of malefactress.
Yet her home-life was pure
Except, to be sure,
A scandal or two just for practice.”
—Anonymous.
