FIFA president Sepp Blatter has been informed he's facing a 90-day provisional suspension from FIFA's ethics committee -- a move which would finally spell the end of his time as FIFA president.
FIFA's ethics committee has been meeting this week to discuss whether Blatter and Michel Platini should be provisionally suspended. It is understood the investigatory arm has recommended a 90-day suspension for Blatter but that the German adjudicatory judge, Joachim Eckert, has yet to make a final decision.
Blatter is accused of signing a contract "unfavourable" to football's governing body and making a "disloyal payment" of about $2m to Uefa president Michel Platini.
Blatter denies any wrongdoing and his lawyers said he had "not been notified of any action".
European football chief Platini - who wants to succeed Blatter - has said the payment was "valid compensation" from his time working under the Swiss more than nine years ago.
