FIFA suspends Blatter, Platini for 90 days

FIFA President Sepp Blatter and his possible successor Michel Platini were on Thursday provisionally suspended for 90 days from football's global governing body amid wide-reaching corruption allegations.

"During this time, the above individuals are banned from all football activities on a national and international level," FIFA's ethics committee said in a statement.

It also handed out a 90-day suspension to FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke, who had already been sent on leave, and banned former FIFA Vice-President Chung Mong-joon for six years and fined him 100,000 Swiss francs ($103,000).

The moves against the most powerful men in world football dramatically deepened the turmoil at FIFA as it faces criminal investigations in Switzerland and the United States into corruption at the highest levels of the game.
