'Disgusted' Platini claims 'UEFA open to World Cup boycott'

Michel Platini has not ruled out the possibility of a World Cup boycott by UEFA members if Sepp Blatter is re-elected as FIFA president tomorrow.

Platini, the president of European football’s governing body, urged Blatter to stand down when the pair met yesterday amid fresh FIFA corruption allegations emerging from separate inquiries by the US Department of Justice and the Swiss government.
