MADRID – World governing body Fifa suspended Mr Luis Rubiales as president of Spain’s football federation on Saturday for kissing Spanish Women’s World Cup player Jenni Hermoso on the lips, and banned him from making contact with her.
The RFEF said it will expose the lies that have been spread, “whether in the name of the player, if that is the case, or by the player herself” after Ms Hermoso said she did not consent to the kiss and felt she was “vulnerable and the victim of an aggression”. In the same statement, Ms Hermoso denied Mr Rubiales’ contention that the kiss he gave her was consensual.
It added: “Where there is rule of law... opinions are counteracted with facts and evidence, and lies are rebutted in court.”
