Full story

Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a 30-day suspension and a fine of 255 euros by the Portuguese Football Federation. The sanction stems from his decision to leave the national team's camp before his duties were complete, which the federation treated as a breach of discipline. Ronaldo walked out while the squad still had international commitments, and a disciplinary file was opened soon afterwards. The federation did not spare its biggest name and moved to publish both the ban and the reasoning behind it. In practice the one-month ban covers a stretch mostly taken up by club commitments with his Saudi side. The fine itself is a modest figure, which points to a sanction meant to make a point rather than hit his wallet hard. Neither the player nor his representatives has offered a detailed public response so far. Back home, the case has stirred debate over how strict standards inside the Portugal camp should be.
