Michel Platini, the head of soccer’s governing body in Europe, lost his appeal to have his provisional suspension lifted, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced Friday morning.
The judiciary body, however, ordered that FIFA not extend the ban beyond its initial 90 days.
The ruling from the court, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, was not surprising, given that Mr. Platini and Sepp Blatter, the FIFA president who is also serving a provisional suspension, are scheduled to have full hearings next week before the ethics committee for soccer’s global governing body to address corruption charges.
