The referee who sent off Cristiano Ronaldo last Sunday for Real Madrid
against Athletic Bilbao has been banned for a month, according to a
Spanish radio station.
Cadena Cope report that Miguel Angel Ayza Gamez has been punished
following his performance in the match which ended 1-1 between the
sides at San Mames.
The decision from the Spanish League's Refereeing Technical Committee
(CTA) to drop Gamez has also seen the referee barred from taking
charge of Madrid matches for the rest of the campaign.
Ronaldo was dismissed for raising a hand to Bilbao captain Carlos
Gurpegi, while he also confronted Ander Iturraspe.
Ronaldo's appeal against the three-match ban imposed has been
rejected, but Madrid are set to take the case still further by
petitioning a Spanish government body to get the punishment
overturned.
