brokers were today suspended by FIFA for 90
days as an unprecedented corruption crisis
continued to engulf the organisation.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter, secretary general
Jerome Valcke and vice-president Michel Platini,
who also heads European football's body UEFA,
were suspended for 90 days each by the FIFA
ethics committee, amidst a series of allegations
involving financial irregularities.
Former FIFA vice-president Chung Mong-joon has
also been banned for six years and fined 100,000
Swiss Francs.
Platini, who hoped to contest next February's
contest to elect a new leader for the scandal-hit
organisation, had earlier claimed that reports he
would be banned were 'insidious' and designed to
damage his reputation.http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/sepp-blatter-michael-platini-and-jerome-valcke-all-suspended-by-fifa-a3085666.html
