(CNN) Former UEFA President Michel Platini says he has been left feeling 'hurt' after being detained as part of a corruption investigation over the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. Platini, who was taken in for questioning in Paris on Tuesday, is currently serving a four-year ban from soccer that was handed down in 2015, over a $2 million payment he received from world governing body FIFA. Upon leaving the police station later, Platini, who led UEFA, the sport's European governing body between 2007-2015, told reporters: "I came here freely and they immediately put me in custody ... It hurts, it hurts for everyone I can think of, everything I did, it hurts, it hurts. Platini won the 1984 Euros with France.
