Platini detained over Qatar World Cup bid

He was arguably one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen and certainly one of the best ever to play for France. Michel Platini retired as a player in 1987 and went on to run football’s European governing body, UEFA. But in recent years he has been mired in bribery accusations and was recently banned for ethics violations. Now he has been hauled in for questioning in France over the decision to allow Qatar to host the next men’s World Cup.
