FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini still
face the possibility of receiving lifetime bans from football after
FIFA's Ethics Committee lodged an appeal to have their eight-year bans
increased.
Despite the pair receiving eight year bans last month, the Ethics
Committee recommended life bans and is determined for it to be handed to
them for the "disloyal payment" of £1.3m to Platini.
Although the investigatory chamber have never
disclosed the punishment they were seeking, both Blatter and Platini
have confirmed it would prevent them from working in football again.
Blatter, 79, and Frenchman Platini, 60, deny wrongdoing and have also appealed against their bans.
Fifa's appeal committee will hear all the appeals, but the cases could go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport
