Football Association suspends Michel Platini support

The Football Association announces that it is suspending its support of UEFA president Michel Platini amid corruption allegations.

The Football Association has announced that it has suspended its support of Michel Platini's bid to become the next president of FIFA.

The UEFA chief was suspended by the FIFA Ethics Committee for 90 days last week after an investigation into corruption at FIFA revealed that he had received a payment from current president Sepp Blatter, who was also suspended.

In a statement on the FA's website, the governing body said: "The FA wishes Mr Platini every success in fighting these charges and clearing his name, and has no interest in taking any action that jeopardises this process.

"However, notwithstanding the above, at the UEFA meeting on Thursday, the FA learnt more information relating to the issues at the centre of this case from Mr Platini's lawyers. We have been instructed that the information must be kept confidential and therefore we cannot go into specifics.

"As a result of learning this information, the FA Board has on Friday morning concluded that it must suspend its support for Mr Platini's candidature for the FIFA Presidency until the legal process has been concluded and the position is clear."

The FIFA presidential election is due to be held on February 26.
