Platini demands CAS reasoning for four year ban
Former
UEFA president Michel Platini has demanded that the Court for
Arbitration of Sport (CAS) explain the reasoning behind their decision
to ban him for four years from all activities relating to football.
Originally
banned for eight years, reduced to six on appeal, Platini took further
court action in May and had the ban cut to four.
But Platini’s lawyers say they still have not been told why the decision was made.
In
a letter addressed to CAS, the former French footballer’s lawyers
demanded an explanation “in as brief a time as possible” and branded
CAS’s behaviour “unacceptable”.
Platini was sentenced over a 1.8 million euros (2 million Swiss francs, $2 million) payment made to him by Sepp Blatter in 2011.
