‘This is unacceptable’ – Alexia Putellas after Luis Rubiales refuses to resign<\/h3>\n

Spain’s women team have collectively threatened to go on strike if Luis Rubiales is not removed from his role after Jenni Hermoso levelled accusations at the president of the Spanish Football Association (RFEF). Hermoso has released a statement hitting back at Rubiales after he refused to resign on Friday, and she has received the full backing of her team-mates, who vowed to go on strike until Rubiales was forced to step down.<\/p>\n

There are growing calls for Rubiales to be suspended after the defiant Spanish football supremo refused to resign in a bizarre press conference on Friday, despite a widespread expectation that he was set to announce his resignation.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old has been accused of giving a non-consensual kiss to Spain women’s star Jenni Hermoso when the team were receiving their medal for winning the World Cup after beating England in the final.<\/p>\n

Rubiales claimed Hermoso consented to the kiss: “It was a spontaneous kiss. Mutual, euphoric and consensual,” he said. “That’s the key. A consensual ‘peck’ is enough to get me out of here?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Hermoso has now hit back in a statement of her own, insisting she did not consent to Rubiales kissing her and accused him of ‘inventing’ words.<\/p>\n

“I want to clarify, that at no time did I consent to the kiss,” she said. “I don’t tolerate that my word is questioned, much less that words are invented that I haven’t said.”<\/p>\n

The statement was signed by a host of Spain players, including all 23 members of the squad that won the World Cup in Australia last week.<\/p>\n

It read: “After everything that happened during the delivery of medals of the Women’s World Cup, we want to state that all the players who sign this letter will not return to a call for the national team if the current leaders continue.”<\/p>\n

Rubiales, who received a round of applause at the press conference from several men in attendance but not from Spain’s female players, could face a 15-year ban from football after refusing to step down.<\/p>\n

The Spanish government has opened legal proceedings with the aim of suspending Rubiales following intense public scrutiny, while FIFA have also launched disciplinary action.<\/p>\n

It comes after one player from the men’s national team, Real Betis striker Borja Igleslias, confirmed he would not be available for selection if Rubiales remains in the job.<\/p>\n

Several La Liga clubs joined the calls for Rubiales to be punished for his actions, with Barcelona and Real Madrid both releasing statements denouncing the under-fire chief. Barcelona labelled the incident “totally improper and inappropriate”, while Real backed attempts to suspend Rubiales.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It read: “After the appearance of the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, before the Extraordinary General Assembly held today, Real Madrid would like to state the following:<\/p>\n

“That our club fully supports the decision put in place by the president of the Superior Council of Sports, V\u00edctor Francos, who will immediately raise this case to the Administrative Court of Sport.<\/p>\n

“From now on, Real Madrid fully trusts the actions carried out by the corresponding competent bodies, such as the Higher Sports Council in this case.<\/p>\n
