Looks like he might live to fight another day !

The independent Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday ordered FIFA not to extend its 90-day provisional suspension on European football chief Michel Platini, saying doing so would be an unjustified restriction of his access to justice.

CAS, which seeks to settle sports-related disputes, left the existing suspension in force until it expires on Jan. 5, on the grounds that it does not cause irreparable harm, according to a CAS statement.

"However, the CAS panel considered that the situation would change if FIFA were to extend the provisional suspension for any period up to 45 days, on the basis of 'exceptional circumstances,' " it said.

Does that mean he can stand for election to FIFA ?

Michel Platini: Uefa president loses suspension appeal

Uefa president Michel Platini has failed in his bid to have his 90-day provisional ban from football lifted.
Platini's request was denied by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday, which means the Frenchman will not be allowed to attend the Euro 2016 finals draw in Paris on Saturday.
The 60-year-old was suspended along with Fifa president Sepp Blatter in October while corruption claims are investigated.
Both deny any wrongdoing.
Platini and Blatter will have personal hearings with Fifa's ethics committee next week, following allegations that a £1.35m payment was made in 2011 for work Platini did as Blatter's adviser.
A verdict is expected on Monday, 21 December.
Ethics investigators for football's world governing body, who handed down the initial 90-day suspension, have recommended a life ban for Platini.
Blatter has announced he will stand down from his post, and Fifa's next president will be chosen at a special congress on 26 February 2016.
Platini is one of the favourites to replace him and still plans to stand.
