On January 5 of this year, the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) reported that it was investigating Jesús Gallardo for a video in which, while celebrating the title obtained with Monterrey at the 2019 Opening, he performs a homophobic song. Since then there was no response from Mexican soccer authorities on the case.

However, this Tuesday, through a press release, the FMF announced the resolution of the investigation, in addition to the sanction for the player. In a few paragraphs, the Federation explained that the Disciplinary Commission conducted an investigation procedure for the events that occurred at the end of the corresponding meeting at the end of the opening of the 2019 Open tournament.

He noted that "the player of the Monterrey team, Jesús Gallardo, made inappropriate celebrations", an action that violates articles 6, 10 and 11 of the FMF Code of Ethics. Given this, it was decided to sanction the player with a suspension in two games, so the game will be lost against Monarcas Morelia on Saturday and against Pumas on Sunday, January 26. In addition, you will have to pay an economic fine, of which you did not specify the exact amount.

The investigation began after a video circulated in social networks in which the Mexican team also sings and dances to "insult" America. In the video you can see the player of “La Pandilla” sing the following song: “Rayados has no wife, Rayados has no husband, but he has a [CENSORED] son who dresses in yellow!”.

This song emerged from La Rebel, the bar of the Pumas of the UNAM. Before playing for Monterrey, Gallardo belonged to the auriazules; Hence, he knows this club and has only modified the name of the teams.

It is worth mentioning that neither the player nor the club has been mentioned about the penalty.
