The Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected former Spanish football administrator Luis Rubiales's appeal on Friday regarding his disqualification from football-related activities for non-consensually kissing player Jenni Hermoso at the 2023 Women's World Cup final.
FIFA imposed a three-year ban on Rubiales in October 2023, which was upheld when he appealed in January last year. Rubiales, aged 47, subsequently took his case to CAS, the highest sports tribunal.
