Michel Platini launches appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport

Suspended former UEFA president Michel Platini takes his appeal against a six-year ban from football to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Michel Platini has confirmed that he has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against his ban from football.

The former UEFA president, along with ex-FIFA supremo Sepp Blatter, was suspended for eight years in December following an investigation made into a £1.3m payment between the pair.

Those punishments were upheld at a hearing last week, although they were reduced by two years.

However, 60-year-old Platini has now demanded that sport's highest governing body looks into his case.

"In appealing to the CAS, Michel Platini seeks to annul the decisions taken by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the FIFA Ethics Committee and by the FIFA Appeal Committee which lead to him being declared ineligible to take part in football-related activity at national and international level for six years. A CAS arbitration procedure is in progress," read a CAS statement.

Blatter is also expected to take his appeal to the Lausanne-based organisation.
