What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPortugal's football federation banned him for thirty days and fined him two hundred fifty-five euros, about two hundred eighty-five dollars, after he left the national team camp over a rift with coach Jorge Jesus.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDoes the ban start today?

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNo, it's backdated to September thirtieth, the day he left. He's available again November fourteenth, for Portugal's next international.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo he was banned before anyone told him he was banned?

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe council says it upheld the charge in full. It did not say when it started holding it.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFederation president Pedro Proença called it a misunderstanding with the coach, and says everyone wants Ronaldo back. Mostly the ones who sent the fine.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo he's available November fourteenth, and the federation is still processing September thirtieth. Brock, is there a forecast for people who got the memo late?
