Sepp Blatter is suffering from stress… unsurprisingly.
The suspended, soon to be former, Fifa President is under medical evaluation for stress, it was announced today.
“He is under medical evaluation, the doctors took him out for a few days, the doctors expect to him be back around Thursday or Friday of next week,” Blatter’s spokesman Klaus Stoehlker told Reuters.
“He is under tremendous pressure from so many sides and perhaps this is a little bit difficult for a man who is not the youngest.”

The 79 year old is currently serving a 90 day suspension and is embroiled in one of the worst corruption scandals in sporting history.
It’s fair to say sympathy is in short supply for Blatter.
