Sports Council Refers LaLiga’s Tebas to Tribunal over Real Madrid Comments
The tribunal will assess whether Tebas’ remarks breached Spanish sport rules, with possible sanctions including warnings, fines or suspension.
- Reuters The National Sports Council referred LaLiga President Javier Tebas to Spain's sports tribunal on Thursday following his comparison of Real Madrid's communication strategy to Nazi propaganda.
- Tebas made the comments on Friday, October 16, prompting Real to demand the 64-year-old's immediate resignation. He later clarified he was referring only to the club's propaganda techniques, not their ideology.
- The CSD asked the tribunal to assess whether Tebas' statements violated Article 76.4.b of Law 10/1990 on Sport, which classifies "notorious and public acts that infringe upon sporting dignity or decorum" as serious infractions.
- Sanctions for such infractions include warnings, fines, or potential suspension. LaLiga did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the referral of Tebas.
- The CSD confirmed it formally raised the issue with the tribunal on Thursday, positioning the body to determine whether Tebas' statements warrant disciplinary measures under Law 10/1990 on Sport.
