. Call soon formalized
released Thursday From its suspension, Platini called it a “farce” announcing that he would devote himself “to triumph (s) in good faith” and “to assert (s) is properly before courts “.
This will begin with an appeal to the Appeals Chamber of FIFA, which will be formalized later than Saturday, according to his entourage. In case of rejection of his appeal, the former captain of the Blues could then turn to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne.
is only part of the problem for the former Juventus player, who sent Thursday morning to the Fifa sponsorship (five federations affiliated to FIFA) required to submit an application.
The latter has indeed not been ruled de facto by his 90-day suspension as a precautionary measure, imposed for the payment, the suspect under the Swiss justice, EUR 1.8 million made by its Blatter intention.
But he who was revealed as a player in Nancy will have to submit to an investigation of the integrity of the electoral commission, led by the same ethics committee of FIFA has just … Hard to suspend the imagine recant.
A spokesman of the ethics committee of FIFA said Friday AFP that Platini was heard on October 1, a week before his suspension by Vanessa Allard (Trinidad and Tobago) member of the investigative chamber of the ethics committee of FIFA. Surrounding the French said it had however not been heard by the trial chamber, the one who delivered the suspension.
. Complex and painful problem ‘
suspension Platini obviously a shock within the European Union of football. “The temporary 90-day suspension imposed on Michel Platini makes the problem (of the crisis of the bodies) even more complex and painful”, commented Friday the Dutch Football Association (KNVB), who “supported his candidacy to succeed Blatter . “The KNVB
now awaits an internal meeting – before meeting the other European federations at UEFA headquarters in Nyon next Thursday – to say more. The Oranje federation reiterates the position of its president Michael van Praag (who had retired the last Fifa presidential), who wants a “new Fifa, transparent and reliable.”
The debates might be agitated in Nyon next week. The president of the German Football Federation, Wolfgang Niersbach, asked on Thursday to Platini “to judge whether he can maintain his candidacy with this heavy load (suspension).” Platini will not meet him in person, of course, since it is suspended.
Thursday, the FA had reiterated its support for Platini in a statement. But Greg Dyke, chairman of the FA, was more nuanced orally “if the Ethics Commission (Fifa) concludes that Mr. Platini has not conducted properly, then the English federation will support the no “.
. French support
In France, of course, football players are on the frontlines to defend Platini. “I do not imagine that this could be criticized is the same kind that was criticized others. I know perfectly well Michel Platini and I can say that his integrity is still relevant” , told Jean-Michel Aulas, Lyon club president and a member of the European Association office football clubs (ECA).
Gerard Houllier, former Liverpool coach and now a consultant to FIFA, denounced on RTL radio: “It’s a trap.” “I think (Platini) will succeed to prove anyway he has nothing to do with all the allegations against him now. He probably has him against the timing of the payment due to him (made in 2011 Blatter a consultant working that stopped in 2002), “added the former coach of PSG, before concluding:” If his election is allowed, I’m sure he will be elected “
