Suspended Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales said on Friday he would continue to defend himself “to prove the truth”, after Spain’s Administrative Court for Sport (TAD) opened disciplinary proceedings against him for kissing forces player Jenni Hermoso.
“I continue to trust the independence of the bodies where this question must be resolved, despite the fact that political pressure and that of certain media is as self-serving as it is brutal and that information on this subject is the subject of a multitude of manipulations, lies and censorship”, denounced Rubiales in a press release published by the newspaper El Mundo.
