Former Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales has been ordered not to come within 200 metres of Jenni Hermoso, and barred from any contact with the World Cup-winning player.
The crisis within Spanish football deepened Friday as the women's World Cup winners demanded more heads roll at its scandal-hit RFEF federation whose disgraced ex-boss appeared in court on sexual assault charges.
"The changes put in place are not enough," said a statement signed by 39 players, among them 21 of the 23 World Cup winners. The bombshell came after days of optimism within the RFEF that the players would come round after it sacked controversial coach Jorge Vilda, appointed Tome in his stead and pledged further changes, not to mention Rubiales' long-awaited resignation on Sunday.
At the end of the closed-door hearing, in which Rubiales repeated his claim that the kiss was consensual, the judge ordered him not to come within 200 metres of Hermoso and barred him from any contact with the player. "Thanks to this video, everyone can see there was no consent whatsoever and that is what we will demonstrate in court."
