Michel Platini renews call for 'sport police'

Uefa president Michel Platini has renewed his call for the establishment of a European sports police force to deal with match-fixing, hooliganism and doping, BBC Sport reports.

The Frenchman first talked of cross-border football policing in 2007.

"There has been no response to those calls," Platini, speaking at the Uefa Congress in London, said on Friday.

"Given the absence of any reaction and the lack of awareness on the part of politicians, I renew that call today."
