UEFA has asked FIFA for an explanation over an article that appears to portray president Michel Platini in a negative light.
UEFA has confirmed a letter of complaint has been sent to FIFA as European football's governing body attempt to find the source of an article that appears to discredit its president Michel Platini.
Several German media outlets are reported to have received the story entitled 'Platini: Skeletons in the Closet', which casts doubt on the Frenchman's suitability to replace Blatter as FIFA president.
Swiss daily Tages Anzeiger claims a FIFA employee had admitted to being the co-author.
