Former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales He requested that the opened file be archived and rejected. Sports Administrative Court (TAD) recommended a 3-year disqualification sanction. Kiss to Jenni Hermoso and her performance in the box after the 2023 Women’s World Cup final.
This is what the 18-page claim document, accessible to Europa Press, says, the statements submitted this Monday by Luis Rubiales before the TAB, after two proposals for sanctions of one year and six months each, to evaluate the actions. for example Serious violations of the Sports Code and sports discipline legislation.
According to Rubiales’ defense, these sanctions are “not compatible” with the justifications in the rest of the proposed decision text, but rather “seem”disconnected” and an “arbitrary” and “unfair” request was reflected“. In this sense, he is of the opinion that the sanction should be a warning, fine or disqualification for three or six months.
In the letter, the former chairman of the RFEF expressed regret that the TAD had requested a report to the CSD, even though he considered the facts to be “notorious” and “public”. “mere compilation of press articles”, but not the influence on social networks, which admit their “permeability” and “influence” by media pressure and political forces.
In this sense, he announced that he was “served on a plate” if the sanction was based on “arbitrariness”, “permeability” and “lack of legal objectivity and classification”. Go to criminal justice. “I am already announcing to you that I will do so if sanctions are imposed due to these events,” he said.
Rubiales emphasized that both the initial agreement and the proposed decision emphasize that the consensual or non-consensual nature of the kiss remains “beyond the walls of the sports disciplinary field.” According to him, expressions such as ‘forced kiss’, ‘imposed’, ‘unwanted’, ‘unwanted’ or ‘stolen’ cannot be taken into consideration.
“The short kiss on the lips (but not on the mouth) was consensual and anyone who says otherwise is lying. Everything I have said so far was and will be my only version. Visual evidence, behavioral evidence, and even spontaneous statements from both parties after what happened show this,” the prosecution said. In his testimony before him, he opposed the version presented by Jenni Hermoso.
According to Rubiales, there was “bestial theatricalization”, “brutal demagogy” and “lynching” due to various factors. “First, I made a mistake. Second, they were after me for a long time. Third, this was very good for some radicalized segments of Spanish politics. Fourth, this issue was undoubtedly a media outlet.” “Good luck,” he summarized.
The “strange coincidence” of 155
Likewise, in issue 155 of his dossier, he sees a “capricious coincidence” with the Constitutional article that the Government implemented after the parliamentary declaration of independence in Catalonia in 2017.
“It is clear that no parallel can be drawn between my situation and the importance and political meaning that this number (155) had a few years ago. However (…) we live in a State of Law and “It is unreasonable to distort legal interpretation to try to preserve a deeply unfair and disproportionate sanction.”There was stress.
He details his claims that he had Hermoso’s consent, and regrets the changes in versions when there were crimes they wanted to exonerate, or “when there was nothing, but the intention was to dramatize and maximize the pressure to indicate that it was to take the pressure to the maximum extreme.” and criminalize it.”
“In my case, many people have changed from private to public (others remain silent, it is safer). There are also those who change their version, they know why. Some They wanted to falsely use me to criminalize an act of joy and celebration, mutual and consensual. Plain and simple, I asked and he said ‘Okay’. Full stop. You cannot prove otherwise. “Neither you nor anyone else, because what I say is the truth,” he said.
Gesture towards Vilda
On the other hand, he censored and ‘Malicious’ leak of proposed 3-year sanction described as ‘very serious’ In the statement made to the press by some members of the TAB, it was stated that a “public parallel trial” and “total helplessness” had been created, and it was reminded that the sanctions of “grabbing the groin” of athletes or coaches never went beyond a “slap on the wrist”. match sanction or financial fine.
The gesture of touching your genitals in the box He reiterated that it was “rude”, “inappropriate” and “ordinary” behavior, but that it was directed at the national coach. Jorge VildaThe allegations made by Europa Press state that he is “very much subjected to blackmail from those who are now taking advantage of this to make a profit and take sweet revenge under the false pretext of ‘Entitlement'”. access.
In his article, he argues that neither this gesture nor the kiss given to Jenni Hermoso “is against sporting honor and etiquette”, that in the first case “it is not sexist” and that a warning “may even be a sanction”. harsh.” “, but this” can be acceptable and fair.
Likewise, he admitted that he should have neglected to kiss Hermoso, but once again he insisted on it. This was a “reciprocal” and “spontaneous” gesture of great joy at winning the first women’s football World Cup in history. He also said it had no impact on sporting events and could not be sanctioned “under existing law”.
Finally, Rubiales argued that he was the main supporter of equality between men and women in football practices by professionalizing the technical bodies of the women’s team, making a “historic agreement” on bonuses for international players and, among other milestones, professionalizing the technical bodies of the women’s team. 2.7 to 27 million dollars for the budget and professionalization of the Women’s First League.
