MOSCOW (AP) — An eccentric Russian politician who is the president of the World Chess Federation and claims to have visited an alien spaceship is thinking about running for FIFA president.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov said he was considering a bid to replace Sepp Blatter after Russian Chess Federation president Andrei Filatov encouraged him to go for the job.
Here is his story in his own words

 Former Governor  & Head Of Russian Chess Federation . Kirsan Ilyumzhinov
  The aliens came for him on September 18, 1997. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov was at home in his Moscow apartment when they came in and abducted him, taking him to their space ship where they communicated with him telepathically.
That’s 
the tale Ilyumzhinov told a popular Russian television host in a program
 that aired last week. But Ilyumzhinov isn’t simply one of the thousands
 who claim to have been abducted by aliens, he’s also the governor of 
the Russian republic of Kalmykia and the president of the World Chess 
Federation. Now a Russian parliamentarian wants Ilyumzhinov questioned, 
fearing he may have given the aliens “secret information,” according to 
the Echo of Moscow radio station. And not just interrogated by anybody, 
but by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
State 
Duma deputy Andrei Lebedev made the request to the president by letter, 
news website GZT.ru reports. Lebedev doesn’t believe Ilyumzhinov’s claim
 that he was simply shown around the ship and released, so he has asked 
the president to find out what else happened and report back to the 
Duma. Lebedev is especially interested in what Ilyumzhinov may have told
 the aliens about his job and whether the abduction has affected the 
governor’s ability to perform the duties of office.
