FIFA’s Sepp Blatter, who is appealing a 90-day suspension from the scandal-tainted world football body, said Sunday he would fight to defend his reputation. “I’m a fighter,” he told the Swiss weekly Schweizer am Sonntag. “They can destroy me, but they can’t destroy my life’s work.” The beleaguered football chief’s lawyers lodged an appeal against his suspension on Friday.At the same time, Blatter asked for further hearings with FIFA’s ethics committee, claiming that he was not allowed to give evidence before he was banned.
