Sepp Blatter’s lawyer says the FIFA ethics committee failed to follow the proper procedure when it decided to ban him for 90 days.

Richard Cullen says Blatter was “disappointed that the ethics committee did not follow the code of ethics and disciplinary code, both of which provide for an opportunity to be heard.”

Cullen also says the ethics committee based its decision on a “misunderstanding,” adding that the Swiss attorney general has not charged Blatter with a crime.
