CAS to announce Platini appeal decision today

The Court of Arbitration for Sport will announce a decision on whether Michel Platini鈥檚 suspension from football should be lifted today, the Lausanne-based tribunal said.

The FIFA vice president appeared before CAS judges on Wednesday with his lawyers to plead the case for him to be allowed to return so that he can take part in FIFA鈥檚 election campaign for a new president. Platini has been named in a Swiss criminal investigation into FIFA leader Sepp Blatter. Platini received a 2 million Swiss franc (US$2 million) payment from FIFA which is under investigation. Both men were suspended for 90 days by FIFA. But Platini鈥檚 lawyers say FIFA鈥檚 ethics watchdog wants him banned for life.
