Banned from playing for his own country and the premier league. They had Hollyfield on CNN talking about it and said that shouldn't be happening in sports. I heard this was like the third time it's happened and the second time this season.

It looks like FIFA will investigate it, but I wouldn't hold my breath on anything becoming of it.
