FIFA President Sepp Blatter and Vice-President Michel Platini have had their appeals against 90-day bans rejected by world football governing body’s appeal committee.
They were suspended in October while FIFA’s ethics committee investigates corruption claims against them.
Blatter, 79, is accused of signing a contract “unfavourable” to FIFA and making a “disloyal payment” to Platini.
Both deny wrongdoing and could appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
