FIFA President Blatter Hospitalized for Stress

IslandStats.com
Suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter has undergone stress-related health checks in hospital, according to his lawyer Richard Cullen.

Blatter, who has led the governing body for 18 years, was provisionally suspended for 90 days last month amid a much-publicized corruption scandal.

Cullen said, "He is fine and expects to be home shortly."

Blatter has been told to "stay cool and relax for a few days", according to his spokesman Klaus Stoehlker.

Both Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini were given 90-day bans in the wake of a Swiss criminal case investigating financial misconduct at FIFA.

It centers on whether Blatter misused FIFA money by making a 2m Euros payment to Frenchman Platini for consultation work. They both deny any wrongdoing.

Seven candidates will stand in FIFA's Presidential Election to succeed Blatter on February 26th.
