Breaking: FIFA’s Blatter Receiving Medical Evaluation

According to Bloomberg, suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter is undergoing a “medical evaluation” at home, according to his spokesman.

“As you can imagine he has been under a lot of stress,” Klaus Stohlker said by phone. Blatter hasn’t been taken to the hospital and has been told to rest for a few days, he said.
The Swiss attorney general in September opened a criminal investigation into allegations Blatter, the head of global soccer’s governing body, was involved in an illicit payment to European soccer chief Michel Platini.
Switzerland’s Radio 1 reported that Blatter, who was suspended by FIFA’s ethics panel last month, had a “medical incident” earlier in the week.
