Ex-UEFA boss Aigner sceptical about caims of Michel Platini contract document

UEFA’s former chief executive has poured cold water on claims that full details of Michel Platini’s FIFA contract during the late 1990s had been known by the leaders of the European governing body.

Platini (pictured) is facing a lengthy ban from FIFA’s ethics committee over a 2million Swiss franc payment (€1.8m) he received in 2011 from FIFA – signed off by FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who is also facing ethics charges. Platini insists the money was part of a verbal agreement he made with Blatter 13 years previously.
