FIFA bans Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini for 8 years

[Mosiah]

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini have been banned from all football-related activities for eight years by FIFA's Ethics Committee.

Football's world governing body's Ethics Committee ruled Monday that both FIFA president, Blatter and his UEFA (European football's governing body) counterpart Platini had broken FIFA Code of Ethics relating to conflicts of interest, breach of loyalty and gifts.

I'm sorry... for me ~ Sepp Blatter

"I'm sorry for me for, how I'm tainted in this world of humanitarian qualities," Blatter added.

"Even suspended I am the President. I am not ashamed. I not regret. If you go in depth of how this is presented. You will there to condemn this FIFA President at the very beginning. He should know. I am not conscious of the people I can elect.

"I will always repeat that. I am a man of principles. These principles are never taking money you have never earned and pay your debts."

Blatter also claimed FIFA's Ethics Committee has no right to go against him and said he would be appealing the ban.

What a senile ramble! Sepp, please just step!

Hopefully the next step for Sepp is a federal prison in Arizona.

The Swiss scum has no shame. He said he will appeal his ban and he apologized but for himself.....for being the punching bag. What a clown.

Imagine - FIFA reserves the right to ban anyone in football who sues them in civil court, and now Blatter is threatening to go to the Swiss civil courts to get this ruling overturned.

The friggin nerve!

Yeah. The French and the Swiss, both from the same template. Shame was never part of their makeup, throughout history. At least the vermins of CONCACAF have some shame.

Wasn't it he who was instrumental in putting that FIFA rule in place?? If, so how ironic!

Takes a special type of person to say that with a straight face.
