A Spanish government legal panel is opening a case against suspended soccer chief Luis Rubiales.
"At no time was there any aggression," Rubiales."Indeed, there was not even the slightest discomfort, but an overflowing joy in both.
The legal panel said Rubiales' behavior would be studied for two possible cases of serious misconduct. The player involved, Jenni Hermoso, has denied Rubiales' claim that she consented to what he called the"mutual" kiss during the Aug. 20 medal ceremony after the Spanish victory. On Tuesday, the federation suspended Rubiales' wages and ordered him to return the federation car, his laptop and mobile phone.
