You’d really think Uefa would try to stop the press running things that say “sources close” or “investigations head Yves Leterme understood to favour a ban.”
Especially if a case is still ongoing.
Lie or not it’s detrimental to their argument, particularly when we’re targeting their process. Looks rather bad that the person in charge has his opinion leaked every week
They can't stop it:
Q "M. Leterme, do you think these allegations deserve a ban, if found true?"
A "If proved true, then they are serious charges and a ban would be appropriate in my opinion."
Q: "Brilliant, I have my headline."
Leterme almost certainly hasn't said anything other than answer questions.
A bit like when that deadline popped up that UEFA hurried to meet - it was reported in the media, but all it needed was someone to look in the UEFA regs to find out that it was important. No leak needed, and if UEFA were asked, they would have acknowledged that it was there.
