GENEVA
FIFA on Saturday suspended
The main soccer body has given no timetable for a ruling by its disciplinary panel. The organisation’s disciplinary judges can impose sanctions on individuals ranging from warnings and fines to suspensions from the sport.
The move comes after the Spanish federation had even threatened action against star player Jenni Hermoso for refusing to accept Rubiales’s version of the kiss that happened at the on-field medal and trophy presentation after Spain’s 1-0 win against England last Sunday in Sydney, Australia. FIFA’s suspension should prevent Rubiales from working in soccer or having contact with other officials.
