International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) said it has imposed a three-year ban on former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales following his forced kiss on the lips of World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso, AFP reported on Monday.
The World Football's governing body did not publish details of the verdict reached by its disciplinary committee judges, who had investigated charges relating to basic rules of decent conduct and behaving in a way that brings the sport of football and/or FIFA into disrepute, the report said
FIFA provisionally suspended Rubiales for 90 days following his unsolicited kiss during the medal ceremony after Spain won the Women's World Cup in Sydney in August, the report said.
Rubiales would now be banned from all football activity for three years, the world football's governing body added.
