Luis Rubiales Banned from Spanish Soccer for Three Years

The former Spanish soccer federation president faces accusations of sexual assault after kissing a player without consent.

Former Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales has been ruled unfit to work in the sport in Spain for three years after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso without her consent at the Women’s World Cup final.
Rubiales had already been forced to resign from his post following a global uproar over the incident.
The ruling by the legal panel that oversees sports in Spain comes after FIFA had already banned Rubiales for three years.
A Spanish judge is investigating accusations by Hermoso that Rubiales sexually assaulted her with his kiss and then pressured her to publicly support him afterward.
Rubiales has denied any wrongdoing and has announced he will be appealing the decision.
