國際體育仲裁法庭駁回布拉特上訴 6年禁足令維持不變

Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has lost his appeal against a six-year ban from all football-related activity, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said last Monday.

國際體育仲裁法庭上週一對外宣稱，國際足聯前主席塞普·布拉特關於其被禁止在6年內參加任何與足球相關活動的上訴被駁回。

The CAS ruled that in 2011 Blatter authorized a payment of $2 million to Michel Platini, then the European football boss, and therefore violated FIFA's code of ethics.

國際體育仲裁法庭裁定，2011年布拉特授權向時任歐足聯主席米歇爾·普拉蒂尼支付了200萬美元，這違反了國際足聯的道德準則。

The CAS described the payment as "an undue gift with no contractual basis".

國際體育仲裁法庭稱，這筆錢款是"沒有合同基礎的不正當禮金"。

Blatter, who led FIFA for 17 years and resigned in June last year, told Reuters in a telephone interview that he was "disappointed but not shattered".

布拉特曾任國際足聯主席17年，於去年6月辭職。在接受路透社電話採訪時布拉特稱自己對結果"感到失望但並沒有崩潰"。

Swiss prosecutors are now investigating Blatter on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation of funds over the payment.

瑞士檢察機關正在對布拉特進行調查，他涉嫌不當管理以及挪用資金。

And in September, FIFA's Ethics Committee said it was investigating Blatter and two other former leading FIFA officials over the salaries and bonuses they had received while in office.

在今年9月份，國際足聯道德委員會表示，他們正在調查布拉特和其他兩位前任FIFA高級官員在任職期間的工資及獎金情況。
