Severe sanctions after violent incident in the Women’s Basketball League.
Sarahí Morales, basketball player, has been sanctioned with two years of disqualification by the Mexican Women’s Professional Basketball League after an incident on the court.
In an unfortunate event that took place in a match between the Quetzales Sajoma teams of CDMX and Avispas de Chilpancingo, Sarahí Morales was captured on video hitting an opponent in the face with her fist.
The impact left the affected player on the ground, causing an escalation of tension among the LMBPF players.
Vania Jocelyn Martínez, from the opposing team, reacted to the attack with a strong push that resulted in Morales falling. The league, in an effort to maintain sporting integrity, imposed exemplary sanctions to prevent future unsportsmanlike conduct.
The Suspension of the Women’s Basketball League
An official statement from the League detailed the suspension applied to Sarahí Morales that prevents her from participating in any professional basketball activity related to the LMBPF for two years, including an unspecified financial penalty.
Additionally, Vania Jocelyn Martínez faces a six-game suspension for her participation in the conflict.
The repercussions of the incident even reached managers, with the president of the Quetzales CDMX being banned from the gyms during the 2024 season and the team being declared the loser of the current match.
These measures reflect the League’s commitment to maintaining an environment of respect and professionalism in Mexican women’s basketball.
