Services to football have led to Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini's FIFA bans being reduced

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini's services to football were a significant factor in the reduction of their bans from all football-related activity, FIFA's appeals committee have said.
Former FIFA president Blatter and UEFA chief Platini had their appeal hearings last week after being punished in December over a £1.3million "disloyal payment" made to the Frenchman.
