This story is odd. Paraguay midfielder Clarence Acuna apparently tried to secure a--ahem--date with a Swedish photographer by having his translator call her in the middle of the night. (His translator! That reminds me of the episode in the first Blackadder series where a Spanish princess communicates with a translator during an amorous tryst with Baldrick.) Apparently, she reported him, and now he faces a ban from FIFA.
Taking the story at face value and assuming Acuna did nothing abusive or illegal, why precisely does FIFA have the authority to ban him? Put quite bluntly, it's hardly any of their business what the players get up to at night, provided it's not illegal. Acuna's coaching staff should decide what penalties, if any, he should incur.
