AFP – Michel Platini, president of European football body UEFA and suspended amid a huge corruption scandal rocking the game, admitted Monday there was no written contract for remuneration he received from world body FIFA.

FIFA’s suspended president Sepp Blatter said last week that a $2.0 million dollar payment made to Platini in 2011 was “a gentleman’s agreement.”
