FIFA Bans Blatter And Platini For 8 Years

FIFA has banned both suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter and European soccer boss Michel Platini.

Both  were banned for eight years on Monday by FIFA’s Ethics Committee.

The pair, who have also been fined, had been suspended for 90 days in October while an investigation was carried out into a 2 million Swiss franc ($2.02 million) payment by FIFA to Platini in 2011. Both men have denied any wrongdoing.
