The former track world champion’s revelation echoes the scandal engulfing Spanish football.
SYDNEY: Australia’s former track world champion Jana Pittman has said she was kissed by a coach during her athletics career, a revelation that echoes the scandal engulfing Spanish football.
Rubiales’s kiss has sparked a massive backlash, but he has so far refused to resign, despite being asked to by the Spanish football federation. “I have been kissed inappropriately by a coach, not mine, an international coach where it was a cultural norm in that setting,” Pittman, now 40, told a talk show for Australian broadcaster ABC.At present 81 Spanish players, including Hermoso, are on strike until the leadership changes at Spain’s football federation.Spanish football great Andres Iniesta has said the World Cup triumph of the women’s team has been “tarnished” by Rubiales’s behaviour.
