    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rubiales was widely condemned in Spain after he kissed star player Jenni Hermoso on the lips without her consent at the Women’s World Cup last Sunday.

    In the days that followed, he rejected repeated calls to step down and defended his kiss as “mutual, euphoric, and consensual.”

    Victor Francos, who is the president of the CSD and the country’s sports minister, said the government would “initiate proceedings” to require Rubiales to explain himself before a tribunal as soon as possible.

    Rubiales would then be suspended if the administrative court finds that the controversial kiss, which Hermoso said was unwanted, violated the country’s sports code.

    “I think we can say it is the MeToo of Spanish football,” Francos told journalists just hours after Rubiales announced he would not step down.

    Spain’s women’s football league, Liga F, said it also lodged its own complaint with the CSD over Rubiales’ “very serious actions and behavior.”
