FIFA banned Luis Rubiales for three years after he sparked outrage by celebrating Spain’s World Cup victory by kissing star player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips.
Rubiales breached FIFA’s code of conduct, which sanctions offensive behavior including “violating basic rules of decent conducts” or actions that bring the “sport of football and/or FIFA into disrepute,” FIFA said in a statement on its website Monday.
