Spanish court imposes restraining order on Rubiales after kiss allegations

Former Spanish football federation president prevented from approaching World Cup-winning player Jenni Hermoso

A Spanish court has imposed a restraining order on the former president of the country's football federation, forbidding him from communicating with, or coming within 200 metres of, the female player he controversially kissed after Spain's World Cup victory last month.

Luis Rubiales - whose decision to kiss Jenni Hermoso prompted a national and international debate on sexism and eventually led him to resign five days ago - was handed the order on Friday by a judge at the audiencia nacional, Spain's highest criminal court.
