Soccer: Celebration bite not quite right

Thursday, November 29, 2001

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER NEWS SERVICES

Next time, a high five might be more appropriate.

Spain's soccer federation has opened an inquiry after Sevilla midfielder
Francisco Gallardo bit a teammate's genitals while celebrating a goal.

Gallardo was filmed with his head between the legs of striker Jose Antonio
Reyes, who had just scored early in the second half of Sunday's 4-0 home
victory over Valladolid. The disciplinary hearing will decide whether Gallardo
broke federation rules concerning "sporting decorum."

Reyes told sports daily Marca he had "felt a slight pinch." The federation said it
may suspend Gallardo, who has played 29 times for Sevilla.
