Platini slams Fifa over discrimination tolerance

Uefa president Michel Platini had a dig at soccer’s world governing body Fifa on Wednesday, saying it had failed to show zero tolerance towards discrimination at the World Cup.

“It’s all well and good to create committees and task forces but you will get nowhere without infrastructure and... rules,” Platini said as he opened an anti-discrimination conference in Rome.

“Uefa put up a system that is a complex monitoring system of all high risk matches so that, unlike the World Cup in Brazil, zero tolerance is really put into practice.”
