Spanish football federation threatens legal action against player
Federation accuses star player Jenni Hermoso of lying about its president Luis Rubiales.
The Spanish football federation says it will take legal action over player Jenni Hermoso's comments about its president Luis Rubiales. Rubiales has refused to resign after kissing the player on the lips following Spain's Women's World Cup final win. Hermoso said on Friday she did not consent, but the federation has questioned her version of events.
