Hey folks! Big news in the football world today. Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Association, has been hit with a three-year ban from anything football-related. Why, you ask? Well, during the Women’s World Cup final, Rubiales went a little too far with his celebrations. He not only kissed player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips without her consent, but he also grabbed his crotch and carried another player over his shoulder. Talk about crossing the line!
This isn’t the first time Rubiales has found himself in hot water. He actually resigned as the president of the Spanish federation and a vice president of UEFA back in September. And just a month before that, he was suspended from football for 90 days. Seems like this guy just can’t stay out of trouble!
But wait, there’s more! Rubiales is also under investigation in Spain for his actions. Hermoso, the player he kissed, has accused him of sexual assault and coercion. And get this, the Spanish state prosecutors are backing her up on this one. They claim that Rubiales tried to get Hermoso and her family to downplay the whole incident. Not cool, Rubiales, not cool.
So, what’s next for Rubiales? Well, FIFA has made it clear that he’s not welcome in the football world for the next three years. And who knows what will happen with the criminal investigation in Spain. One thing’s for sure, though, Rubiales’ reputation is definitely taking a hit.
That’s all for now, folks. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy scandal!
