An Andalusian second-division player who attempted to hit a female assistant referee with his penis has been given a one-year ban from football by the Competition Committee of the Andalusian Football Association (RFAF).
According to MARCA, the player was punished with “a one-year suspension of his federation licence, and a 468-euro fine”.
He was punished for “performing a public act of common knowledge which was completely undignified and disrespectful to the assistant referee and the crowd present at the game”.
The bizarre incident occurred in the 80th minute of the Andalusian Senior Second Division league game between CD Abes and Gabia CF in Granada on November 15.
Referee Jesús Lorenzo Rodríguez wrote in his match report that the man “invaded the pitch and approached assistant number one and tried to hit her with his penis, which he had pulled out beforehand,” according to La Informacion.
Rodríguez identified the man as being a player from the rival local team Céltic de Pulianas, which plays in the league above the CD Abes and Gabia CF.
“He was wearing the team’s tracksuit and I recognized him from when I’d refereed in the past,” the referee noted, according to Spanish sports newspaper Marca.
