FIFA President Sepp Blatter suspended 

FIFA President, Sepp Blatter has been provisionally suspended for 90 days for financial misconduct. 

Members of FIFA's Ethics Committee met this week after the Swiss Attorney General opened criminal proceedings against Blatter, 79, last month.  

He is accused of signing a contract "unfavourable" to football’s governing body and making a "disloyal payment" to UEFA, President Michel Platini, 60.  

Mr Blatter, who has run FIFA since 1998, and Platini, who wants to succeed him, deny any wrongdoing.  

A final decision is likely to be made on Friday by the Head of FIFA's ethics adjudicatory chamber.
