Michel Platini's legal team believe the UEFA president has not been treated fairly but are still confident that he will have his ban lifted in time for next year's FIFA election.

On Wednesday, Platini and FIFA president Sepp Blatter saw their appeals against their 90-day bans rejected by world football's governing body.

The suspensions were initially imposed by FIFA's ethics committee on Oct. 8 after it emerged that a £1.35 million payment made by FIFA to Platini was being investigated by Swiss authorities.

Both men denied any wrongdoing but they have confirmed that there was no written contract for the payment, which they said related to work that the former France international did for Blatter at least nine years previously.
