Zurich, June 14: World football's governing body FIFA's former president Sepp Blatter has sensationally claimed that some European draws were fixed using "hot and cold balls".

However, he has stated during his long tenure as the FIFA president none of the draws at the world level were pre-decided.

"I never touched the balls," Blatter was quoted as saying by Argentine newspaper La Nacion on Monday.

"Of course, you can mark them (by) heating them or cooling them."
