Ex FIFA President Stepp Blatter Loses Appeal Against Six-Year Ban Imposed On Him (See Details)
Sepp Blatter has confirmed that he has lost his appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against a six-year ban by FIFA.
The Swiss said, in a statement, that it is “difficult” to accept, but that “the way the case progressed, no other verdict could be expected”.
The former FIFA president also said he will accept the decision.
Blatter was banned for approving a $2million payment to Michel Platini in 2011.
Both men were originally banned for eight years by FIFA in December 2015, but it was reduced by two years by an appeal panel in February 2016.
Blatter has since been succeeded as FIFA president this year, by former UEFA General Secretary, Gianni Infantino.
