FIFA’s Ethics Committee has reportedly dropped charges against Michel Platini over a “disloyal payment” received from then-FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
Platini was due to face a trial later this week having appealed his initial eightyear ban from all football-related activity, which was later reduced to six years.
FIFA are yet to confirm whether or not the reports are true after Italian media outlets Sky and ANSA both claimed that the corruption charges have been unexpectedly binned.
