Michel Platini: FIFA leaks are an attempt to damage my reputation

UEFA president Michel Platini has insisted reports that he is to be suspended by FIFA’s ethics committee are ”insidious” leaks that are ”essentially an attempt to damage my reputation”.

Platini and FIFA president Sepp Blatter are both facing a provisional 90-day suspension while ethics committee investigations continue into a £1.35million payment made to the Frenchman by FIFA in 2011.
