Platini says he has done nothing wrong

Disgraced former UEFA president Michel Platini insisted he had done nothing wrong and said his conscience was clear as he gave a farewell speech to European soccer's governing body at their extraordinary Congress on Wednesday.

The Frenchman, who resigned in May after being banned from the sport for four years for ethics violations, was given a round of applause by the delegates, but did not get a standing ovation.

"Thank you. Thank you for these nine years. I think we did a great job... Friends of football, farewell," said Platini, who was first elected in 2007, at the end of his seven-minute speech.
