“We’ve got rules, but really, we can do whatever we want”* 📂 Archived Message Posted by Carl Spackler on July 5, 2026, 12:00:33, in reply to "Here's some text from The Athletic" Previous Message Not sure if this is helpful: Article 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.” It adds: “If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction enforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement.” Cristiano Ronaldo avoided a suspension for the start of the World Cup in similar circumstances after FIFA handed the Portugal captain a three-match ban, but with the final two games suspended for “a one-year probation period”.
