“I will fight for me and for FIFA,” he noted.

“We go immediately to the appeal committee and to CAS,” he added.

According to Sepp Blatter, the Ethics Committee does not have the locus to ban him, claiming that only the FIFA Congress has the power to remove him out of office.

“This committee has no right to go against the President of FIFA,” he said.

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini were suspended for a ‘disloyal payment’ made by the former President (Blatter) of the Federation of International Football Associations, FIFA in February 2011.
