A Paraguayan soccer player is facing punishment after exposing part of his penis during a goal celebration last week. Raul Bobadilla, a 33-year-old striker for Club Guarani, scored a late goal to give his club a 3-2 aggregate victory over Libertad in a cup tie.
The head of Paraguay's football association (AFP), Dr. Raul Prono, said that an inquiry was underway and that Bobadilla has been informed of the decision. He noted that though the official did not make any notes of the celebration at the time that it happened, the organization was able to get information from online images and videos of the incident itself. The player has three days to offer a defense before a judgment is officially made.
Because it took a while for the AFP to open the inquiry, Bobadilla -- who removed his jersey and partially pulled down his shorts during the celebration -- will not have to miss his club's next cup match, which is set for Wednesday. The punishment itself will have to wait until 2021, after the results of the inquiry become official. What also helps Bobadilla's chances to play is that he was not punished on the field for what he did. If he was shown a red card, for example, the resulting suspension would be immediate.

If he was 17-26 that might be one thing but at 33? AND he is the second guy to do it this year.
