Sepp Blatter indicated Thursday that he plans to take on FIFA, the global football body he used to run but which has now banned him. "As new facts have appeared it's time to question the decision of the Fifa Ethics-Committee - my suspension of 6 years!" Blatter tweeted, adding hashtags for FIFA, for the Court of Arbitration in Sport, for the World Cup and for his successor as FIFA president, Gianni Infantino. Blatter also sent out a press release saying: "My aim is to look into the decision of FIFA's Ethic-Committee in view of informations, and even evidences that I have received, in the meantime, in connection with my suspension."
"We are working on this case - and looking forward for development," he said in his statement, which added: "For the time being there is no legal action."
