Baku-APA. FIFA’s appeal committee on Wednesday rejected suspended football chiefs Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini’s bids to have their eight-year bans from the sport quashed, APA reports quoting Anadolu Agency.
However, their suspensions were reduced to six years. Platini, the head of UEFA, will have to pay an 80,000 Swiss francs ($81,100) fine while Blatter, who is to be replaced as FIFA president on Friday, was fined 50,000 francs ($50,700).
They were suspended in December over a $2 million “disloyal payment” to Platini in 2011.
