Michel Platini will not resume his reign as UEFA president

10th May, 2016

Michel Platini will not resume his reign as UEFA president even though the court of arbitration for sport reduced his six-year ban from football to four years on Monday.Platini confirmed he plans to resign as a result of the decision but issued a statement to the media announcing that he will continue his battle to clear his name.Platini and FIFA president Sepp Blatter received eight-year bans from all football-related activity by FIFA'S ethics committee in December.Those sanctions were reduced to six years by a FIFA appeals panel in February, but both men immediately took their cases to the Cas.Despite the Cas' ruling to shorten the ban, Platini, who was elected unopposed for a third four-year UEFA term in 2015, needed it to be completely overturned.
