As time passes and the Application Michel Platini for the presidency of FIFA seems compromised. Suspended 90 days by the ethics committee of FIFA, concerning a sum of EUR 1.8 million that was paid to him Joseph Blatter in February 2011, Michel Platini had filed two calls. The current president of UEFA, which find use in principle from office January 5, wished to challenge his suspension, which forced the electoral commission of FIFA to freeze his candidacy. But the news on Monday is not good for the former playmaker of the team of France: one of his two appeals was rejected.
“This decision is not that of the Appeals Board, which is still expected with no timetable has been communicated, stated in a statement sent to AFP Platini’s advisers. We are convinced that the actions brought eventually demonstrate its total integrity and will restore all its rights. Issued on October 20 – but surprisingly notified to Michel Platini Friday, October 23, 2015 at 17:15 – this decision is in no way surprising since rendered in the same room of the Ethics Commission, without Michel Platini was unable to benefit a hearing in due form. “
His name never mentioned in the press UEFA
Platini clan up so all its hopes on the appeal on the merits filed October 10 before the Board of Appeal . If it were to fail as it is to the Court of Arbitration for Sport that lawyers Platini would switch. Meanwhile, the blow is hard for the President of UEFA, which seems to lose one by one its mainstays. The support of UEFA, formalized at a press conference on October 15 in Switzerland, already seem ancient history.
After the act of defiance of the English federation, Gianni Infantino, the general secretary of UEFA, announced Monday his candidacy for the presidency of FIFA. A plan B, which by its very existence, reflects the little credit that now bears the proceeding to the nomination of Michel Platini. While he was publicly supported there is still a fortnight, never the name of Michel Platini is quoted in the press release announcing the nomination Infantino.
An oversight? In principle, Infantino is supposed to occupy the field to influence the vote of February 26 but also for not sending a president of European Federation (the candidacy of Dutch Van Praag was a time been considered) in this bitter election campaign looming . If the suspension was finally lifted Michel Platini, Infantino should withdraw. Finally, in theory. Because, as a member of the clan Platini told AFP: “The truth today in politics is not the morning after”
