Resigning from the president's position of the International Football Federation (FIFA), Sepp Blatter has been hospitalized and will be treated for the next few days. This information was confirmed by a Swiss representative to the BBC.
It is reported that S.Blatter likely suffered a nervous shock.
According to sources, the 79-year-old official is deeply upset about having to step down from his duties.
It is said that S.Blatter has told close friends that he is fighting against the decision of the Ethics Committee. "No committee can remove me from the game," said the former FIFA president.
S.Blatter hopes that the worst is behind him and he will soon be able to return to a normal life.
The Swiss was re-elected as president in May, but immediately announced his resignation due to lack of support after the victory. Despite this, he denies all charges brought against him during this scandal.
Furthermore, a few months later, S.Blatter and FIFA's general secretary Jerome Valcke were suspended due to an ongoing corruption investigation that shook the entire football community and attracted attention from various world media.
The FIFA executive committee has announced that the elections for the new president will take place on February 26 next year.
