Luis Rubiales, who was recently ousted as president of the Spanish football federation, has received a three year ban from FIFA. He will not be allowed to participate in any level of football sponsored by FIFA for kissing a player, Jenni Hermoso, against her will.

He was initially banned for 90 days but a disciplinary committee has found he should be banned for a full 3 years. Rubiales claims the kiss was consensual, but Hermoso has stated firmly this was not the case.

Rubiales kissed Hermoso after the latter had helped Spain win the Women’s World Cup.
