That same day we already count that the Sports Law includes within the very serious sanctions “notorious and public acts that threaten sports or decorums” but also at another point speak specifically of “any action that can be considered discrimination, abuse or sexual harassment and/or harassment due to sex or authority.” Acts whose sanction, in the case of consuming charges against the footballer “
“Federative License Suspension or Equivalent Habilitation of a temporary nature for a period between two to fifteen years.”
And then there is the RFEF Disciplinary Code where it collects the sanctions to which all Spanish players are exposed. In this case, and following the guidelines of the Sports Law, this type of actions (always in the case of confirming) are considered as very serious sanctions within their article 66 also related to the “notorious and public acts that affect sports dignity and decorum.”
In a first paragraph, it states that “those who commit notorious and public acts that affect sports or decorums, when special severity, or recidivism in serious infractions of this nature, will be sanctioned, will be sanctioned with a fine of 3,006 to 30,051 euros”
But also talks about two possible sanctions. The first, in line with the Magna del Deporte Carta in Spain, implies the “disqualification to occupy positions in the federative organization, or suspension or deprivation of license, for time of two to five years.”
But it even includes “license deprivation, definitively; such sanction class can only be imposed exceptionally due to recidivism in very serious infractions.”
