The siege tightens on Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish Football Federation. It is narrowed by the Spanish Government, which has already submitted its complaint to the Sports Administration Tribunal (TAD), to suspend it from its functions as soon as possible and also by FIFA, whose lukewarm initial position – it opened a disciplinary file when Five days had already passed since the non-consensual kiss to Jenni Beautiful in Sydney – has now given way to “the provisional suspension of Mr. Luis Rubiales from any activity related to football”.
Not only that. Not only has he suspended the president of the Federation in the next 90 days, so he will not hold his position as UEFA vice president, thus demonstrating FIFA’s resounding turnaround, but also prevents him from having any contact with Jenni Hermoso. The Colombian Jorge Ivan Palacio, in his capacity as president of the disciplinary commission of the highest international organization, agreed to this forceful measure towards the Spanish leader, who cannot carry out any activity. Not at the local level. Nor international.
“Preserving Jenni’s Rights”
Those 90 days could be extended, pending FIFA processing “the disciplinary procedure opened by this Disciplinary Commission against Mr. Luis Rubiales last Thursday, August 24.” And “with the objective of preserving, among other factors, the fundamental rights of the player of the national soccer team Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso and the good order of the disciplinary procedure that is in process before this disciplinary body, it has issued two additional directives (Article 7 CDF) by which it orders Mr. Luis Rubiales to refrain, through himself or third parties, from contacting or attempting to contact the professional player of the Spanish national team Ms. Jennifer Hermoso or her close entourage& rdquor ;.
avoid pressure
In other words, the forward of the Spanish team is totally isolated to prevent them from receiving the pressures that have shaken them since last Sunday. FIFA goes even further. “Likewise, the RFEF and its officers or employees, directly or through third parties, are ordered to refrain from contacting the professional player of the Spanish national team Ms. Jennifer Hermoso or those close to her.”
Rubiales has been informed today of this decision by the president of the FIFA disciplinary committee, who has reiterated “his absolute commitment to respecting the integrity of all people and therefore condemns with the greatest vigor any behavior to the contrary “.
