'Conspiracy' - Platini vows to return to football following 'suspension made by morons'

The Frenchman has made his feelings about his ban and those who issued it very clear

Former UEFA president Michel Platini has vowed to return to football, labelling those who handed out his suspension ‘morons’.

The Frenchman and former FIFA president Sepp Blatter were investigated for corruption regarding the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, among various other things.

Both were found guilty of a breach of ethics and were issued eight-year bans from football. FIFA’s appeals committee saw the sanction reduced to six years and Platini’s was then further reduced to four years following his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
