Mexican player banned for spitting, swine flu admission
A Mexican footballer has been banned for spitting and blowing nasal secretions at an opponent then telling him he had swine flu.
Guadalajara defender Hector Reynoso has provisionally been suspended from all matches in the Libertadores Cup following last week's game at Everton of Chile in South America's top club competition.
The South American Football Confederation (CSF) said the length of the ban would be determined in the next 72 hours.
"At around the 90th minute of the aforementioned game, Reynoso, following an incident in the game, reacted by spitting at Everton player Sebastian Penco and then releasing nasal secreations at the face of the player," said the CSF in a statement.
