On August 25, media personality Li Xuan revealed that player Dorado could face a ban of up to 10 to 14 months and a fine of at least 300,000 yuan.
In the 14th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) between Henan and Wuhan Changjiang on August 21, Henan's foreign aid Dorado was given a red card for intentionally knocking down referee Ma Ning.
Li Xuan further elaborated: Regarding the incident of Dorado hitting Manning, I have investigated it and the details are as follows:
[Manning's Injury] Manning suffered a contusion to his shoulder, neck and lower back area after suffering a strong impact. This week, he underwent several physical therapy sessions and was advised by his doctor to avoid participating in intense sports to ensure that he would not interfere with his enforcement duties for the upcoming World Cup. For this reason, Manning has switched to video assistant refereeing this weekend.
[Dorado's punishment] Given that this incident coincides with the Chinese soccer industry's vigorous efforts to rectify match discipline, Dorado's behavior will surely be severely punished. Article 48(1) of the CFA Disciplinary Rules clearly states that there are six circumstances in which a heavier penalty will be imposed, and Dorado's behavior fits into the first and fifth circumstances, i.e., "the violation of discipline occurs during a stoppage of play or when there is no ball in play" and "the circumstances are serious and cause a negative impact on the society. ". According to Article 48(2), Dorado's behavior meets the requirements of "aggravating circumstances that have a negative social impact and serious consequences", "the disciplinary infraction is an act of retaliation", and "the infraction causes bodily injury or damage to the health of the target". health damage".
[Final Verdict] The combination of Dorado's behavior and the corresponding aggravated punishment regulations will likely see him face a 10 to 14 month ban and a fine of no less than 300,000 RMB. The CFA will announce the penalty decision as early as tomorrow.
