The football's governing body has reportedly decided to suspend a number of its high-ranking officials, most notably its out-going president Sepp Blatter and the president of UEFA Michel Platini, as the fight to clear football of corruption continues.
It was first understood that the FIFA Ethics Committee would suspend only Sepp Blatter, but it now appears clear that the sanctions would also be used against Michel Platini as well as Jerome Valcke, the Secretary General of FIFA.
All of them have been under scrutiny lately as the US-led criminal investigations discovered a number of irregularities during their tenure in FIFA, even though the suspended trio claim to have committed no wrongdoings.
