FIFA Suspends Spanish FA chief over Hermoso kiss

SPANISH football chief Luis Rubiales was yesterday suspended by FIFA for 90 days over the World Cup kissing row. 

Rubiales, 46, refused to quit despite pressure from Spanish footballers and the government.

And yesterday, his organi sat ion e v en threatened to sue Jenni Hermoso – the player he kissed – accusing her of lying.

Rubiales grabbed the 33-year-old by the head and kissed her on the lips during the medal ceremony after Spain beat England 1-0 in the final last Sunday.

He hugged and kissed several other players too, including Olga Carmona, who scored the winning goal.
