The paper cited him as saying the ethics committee had forbidden him to speak about FIFA. While surprised by the ban, "I am doing well and I feel good," he told the paper from his flat in Zurich.
Swiss prosecutors last month opened a criminal investigation of Blatter on suspicions of mismanagement and misappropriation of funds over a television rights contract he signed in 2005 and a 2 million Swiss franc (£1.36 million) payment in 2011 to Michel Platini, president of the UEFA soccer confederation.
Platini has also denied any wrongdoing and is fighting to reverse his provisional suspension as well.
