The Spanish football federation says this is evidence that Jenni Hermoso lifted Rubiales off the ground. All I see is a man jumping on someone like she was a pole.

Hermoso says:
"This incident, one in which I have been involved, is the final straw and what everyone has been able to witness on live television during the celebration also comes with attitudes like the one we saw this morning and have been part of our team's daily life for years."

Condemnation also came from inside Spain’s football community. “I just thought, how barbaric, how embarrassing,” said Miguel Galán, who leads a national facility that trains football coaches. “We can’t overlook that this took place in a work environment. The federation is the employer and she’s the employee. That reality – along with the element of surprise – means she couldn’t react the way she might have if the context had been different.”

#Galán, in his capacity as a national coach with the football federation, lodged an official complaint with the National Sports Council, the government body that oversees sport in Spain."
