I mean, to be fair to FIFA (did I just type that?) they have suspended him: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/26/fifa-suspends-luis-rubiales-from-all-football-related-activity-over-hermoso-kiss

EDIT - ha, forgot what thread I was on and didn't realise I'd just shared the OP link! Oh well

It's the Spanish FA who need to step up though, they're making absolute fools of themselves.
