Just in: FIFA suspends Spanish FA boss Rubiales over Hermoso kiss
World football governing body, FIFA, has provisionally suspended President of the Spanish FA, Luis Rubiales, over his conduct at the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney last weekend.
Rubiales has refused to resign from his position after kissing Jenni Hermoso – who has stressed she did not consent to the kiss on the lips, prompting FIFA to step in.
A FIFA statement on Friday said, “The Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, Jorge Ivan Palacio (Colombia), in use of the powers granted by article 51 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC), decided today to provisionally suspend Mr. Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities at national and international level.
“This suspension, which will be effective as of today, is for an initial period of 90 days, pending the disciplinary proceedings opened against Mr. Luis Rubiales on Thursday, August 24.”
Rubiales was also refrained from contacting Ms. Jennifer Hermoso and her close environment.
“The decision adopted by the chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has been communicated today to Mr Luis Rubiales, the RFEF and UEFA for due compliance,” the statement added.
