MADRID: Spain's National Sports Council urged the country's Sports Administrative Tribunal to provisionally suspend football boss Luis Rubiales on Friday after the TAD opened a case against him for"serious", rather than"very serious" misconduct.
The TAD's decision not to open a case for"very serious" misconduct means the CSD will not be able to suspend Rubiales as head of the country's football federation for the duration of the investigation. In a statement released just minutes after Iceta's press conference and published in Spanish papers including El Mundo, Rubiales acknowledged the TAD's decision to open a case and not classify his actions as"very serious".
