Troubled club Veracruz booted from Liga MX

After a tumultuous period in which owner Fidel Kuri was involved in a number of incidents, Mexican officials have disaffiliated the Tiburones Rojos

Veracruz is no more.

After a tumultuous several years that came to a head in this fall's Apertura, authorities booted the Atlantic Coast club from the league Friday.

Players accused owner Fidel Kuri of not paying their salaries, with the club already owing past players a significant sum of money heading into this season. The issue came to a head when the players stood still for the first several minutes of a match against Tigres in October.
