Cristóbal Soria's indignation after the TAD sanction on Rubiales: “I am in shock”

The case of Luis Rubiales continues to make people talk. Since the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, kissed the player Jennifer Hermoso without consent on August 20, during the World Cup medal ceremony in Austria and New Zealand, thousands of comments and reactions have flooded social networks.

Many of these reactions have been positioned in favor and against the current president of the RFEF and many have even called for his resignation. But Rubiales showed his refusal to resign last Friday during the press conference. Faced with his refusal, FIFA decided to temporarily suspend him from his position as president of the Royal Football Federation and prohibited all communication with the football player

The future of Rubiales was in the hands of the Administrative Court of Sport, which was studying the complaints against the president, to decide if he should continue in command or, on the contrary, they should dismiss him. A resolution that has taken days to arrive and that today, September 1, we have been able to learn about the decision they have made on the future of Luis Rubiales.

After hours of maximum expectation, the TAD has partially upheld the complaint filed by the CSD (Superior Sports Council) and considers the infraction of Luis Rubiales serious, not very serious. This means that the CSD board of directors cannot provisionally suspend Luis Rubiales from the position of president of the RFEF.

The news has not gone unnoticed by the media, which immediately echoed the TAD resolution. Furthermore, the reactions have not been long in coming and one of the first to show his rejection of the decision has been Cristóbal Soria in Así es la vida.

The sports commentator was speechless and did not believe the decision. ''This goes beyond the sports field. Right now I am almost, almost, almost in a state of shock because obviously we have all described this as something very serious, as a before and after in women's sports and yet now it turns out that there are seven gentlemen with their backs to everything we think and to everything that society says, and international society'', declared the collaborator.
