On August 25, the ball world broke heavy news: according to media person Li Xuan, Henan foreign aid Dorado is likely to face a 10- to 14-month ban and a fine of no less than 300,000 yuan for intentionally knocking over referee Maning during the game.
Recalling the heated battle between Henan and Wuhan Changjiang in the 14th round of the Chinese Super League on August 21, Dorado's impulsive behavior became the focus of the match. In the collision, referee Maning was unfortunately injured, and Dorado's behavior sparked widespread concern and discussion.
Li Xuan further analyzed the incident: Manning suffered contusions to his body, mainly in the shoulder, neck and waist areas, after taking a hard hit from Dorado. In order to recover, Manning has undergone several physical therapy sessions this week and has been advised by his doctor to avoid strenuous exercise. In light of Manning's upcoming World Cup enforcement duties, he switched to serving as a video assistant referee this weekend.
With regard to Dorado's punishment, given that the incident occurred during the critical period of the National Football Association's efforts to rectify the discipline of the game, the punishment will be more severe. According to Article 48 (1) of the Disciplinary Rules of the National Football Association, Dorado's behavior is consistent with the circumstances that the violation of discipline occurred during the stoppage of play or in the absence of the ball, as well as the seriousness of the situation, resulting in a negative impact on society. Therefore, Dorado's behavior will be punished more severely.
Combined, Dorado could face a 10 to 14 month ban and a fine of no less than 300,000 dollars. It is reported that the NFF will announce the official fine as early as tomorrow.
Event Recap:
Dorado was knocked down with the ball on his back in the 13th minute of play and referee Manning did not react.
