Banned UEFA president Platini can get Euro 2016 invite (The Associated Press)
Michel Platini will be allowed to receive the VIP treatment at the European Championship in France after FIFA eased the terms of his four-year ban from soccer on Wednesday. FIFA's ethics body initially indicated the sanction would only allow the banned UEFA president to attend matches as an ordinary fan and no longer mix with the high-ranking officials in stadiums. ''The letter, signed by Mr. Eckert, says Mr. Platini can be invited in a personal capacity as long as he doesn't perform any official function,'' UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said at the Stade de France, which is hosting Friday's Euro 2016 opener between host France and Romania in Group A.
