VOICED : Blatter muy confiado antes de comparecer ante el TAS

Joseph Blatter, former FIFA president, expressed confidence before his hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) on August 25. He is appealing a six-year suspension from football due to a suspicious payment of 1.8 million euros to Michel Platini, former UEFA president, for advisory work between 1999 and 2002. The payment was made without a written contract, but Blatter insists there was an oral agreement. He also faces other legal issues in Switzerland.
