Sepp Blatter is back at FIFA headquarters for an appeal
hearing to challenge his eight-year ban for approving a $2 million payment to
Michel Platini in 2011.
Blatter arrived early for his scheduled 9 a.m. (0800 GMT)
start with the FIFA appeal committee to challenge ethics committee sanctions
imposed in December.
Platini had an eight-hour hearing on Monday. He said it
focused on a verbal agreement with Blatter to get uncontracted salary for
working as a presidential adviser from 1999-2002.
Platini's long-time friend, tournament organizer Jacques
Lambert, was at FIFA to give evidence for a second day.
Platini said verdicts could be given Thursday or Friday.
Blatter and Platini previously said they expected their
appeals to fail, then would take their cases to the Court of Arbitration for
Sport.
