FMF Clears Piojo Alvarado After Firecracker Incident Controversy
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) announced this Wednesday that no sanctions will be imposed on Roberto ‘Piojo’ Alvarado, midfielder for Chivas, after he threw a firecracker at journalists covering the team’s training session last week.
Joke or Disrespect?
The incident has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Although it occurred within the club’s facilities and outside of official match settings, some critics are calling for stricter ethical guidelines to protect the sport’s image.
The New Code Under Scrutiny
The FMF defended its decision, citing current regulations, which only allow for sanctions in situations related to official matches. This has led to questions about the effectiveness of the new code of ethics, implemented in July, which aims to preserve the integrity of Mexican football.
