Paris - Michel Platini has had a first procedural appeal against a 90-day ban from all footballing activities rejected, representatives of the UEFA president revealed on Monday.
"This decision is not that of the (FIFA) appeals committee, for which no date has yet been communicated to Platini," the Frenchman's counsel said in a statement sent to AFP.
