The Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision not to overturn Michel Platini's ban will lead to his resignation from UEFA.
Michel Platini will resign as UEFA president after the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision not to overturn his ban from football activity.
Platini did see his ban — which was related to a $2 million payment to him by then-FIFA chief Sepp Blatter in 2011 — reduced from six years to four by CAS's three-man appeal panel.
CAS also reduced his fine from 80,000 Swiss Francs ($83,000) to 60,000 Swiss Francs ($62,000), but maintained he was right to be punished and had taken into account "the absence of any repentance" and the impact of the saga on FIFA's reputation.
