Michel Platini to boycott FIFA ethics committee hearing in show of 'outrage'

UEFA president Michel Platini will not attend Friday’s FIFA ethics committee hearing as he believes his fate has already been decided.

Platini and outgoing FIFA president Blatter, who were suspended by FIFA’s ethics committee for 90 days on October 8, face hearings before FIFA ethics judge Hans-Joachim Eckert in Zurich later this week over a £1.8m payment made to Platini by FIFA in 2011.
