Michel Platini: Uefa president loses suspension appeal

Uefa president Michel Platini has failed in his bid to have his 90-day provisional ban from football activity lifted.

Platini had asked for the suspension to be lifted to allow him to work but his request was denied by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The 60-year-old was suspended along with Fifa president Sepp Blatter in October while corruption claims are investigated.

1. Good

That presumably means he won't be succeeding Blatter at FIFA either, and it's high time that organisation were completely reformed. Nobody associated with the Qatar bid (and remember Platini's son got a lucrative job there) should ever have credibility in the sport again anyway.

2. Such a brilliant player in the 80s

It's a shame what he has done to himself and the sport.
