Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter has been accused by Hope Solo, the USA women's' football team goalkeeper, of having sexually assaulted her at Fifa's Ballon d'Or award ceremony in January 2013.

The goalkeeper presented the award for Fifa women's' player of the year that year in front of an audience alongside Blatter to her teammate Abby Wambach after the USA won gold at the Olympics in London in 2012.

The 36-year-old said "i had Sepp Blatter grab my ass" at the award ceremony, however Blatter, via a spokesman, denied the claims, calling them "ridiculous".

In an interview with Portuguese daily paper Expresso, Solo claimed that sexual assault had happened minutes before they went on stage to present the award.

“I had Sepp Blatter grab my ass. It was at the Ballon d’Or, right before I went on stage. [Sexual harassment] has been normalized.

“For years, in the past, female players date and end up marrying their college coaches, which obviously a coach should not be doing, especially with a young player.

“I’ve seen it not just with coaches. I’ve seen it with trainers, doctors, and our press officers ... I’ve seen it amongst players in the locker room. It’s rampant.

“I’m actually very disappointed with the women who haven’t spoken about it in the sports world … I wish more women, especially in football, would speak against it, about the experiences, because some of those people still work [in football],” said Solo

When asked why she had never brought it up previously, Solo admitted it is because she usually likes to take it up with the person directly, rather than flush it out to the press.


“I speak out directly [with people] when things like that happen. In other cases, for instance, I’ve told my teammates: ‘Don’t ever f***ing touch me! Don’t do it’. It has been in the showers, it’s been in the locker room… I usually speak directly to the person.

“In the case of Sepp Blatter, I went on the stage, I was nervous about the presentation… It was the Ballon d’Or I was presenting.

“After that, I didn’t see him, and that was kind of bad. I didn’t get to tell him directly ‘Don’t ever touch me!’ That’s the way I’ve always handled things. Directly.” the USA goalkeeper added

The same hope solo that punched her husband and nephew, bloody hypocrite

ok

Blatter, this isn't right(i.e if the lady is speaking the truth). I hate sexual assault like mad. So, as old as you are, you can't woo a lady? Then fvcking stay busy to avoid 'wild wild thoughts'

. Sepp Blatter is known to have a questionable character but Hope Solo is worse. Is she not the same woman that backed her husband who raped a teenage girl and backlashed the girl? a bully who physically assaulted her nephew? a wierd one whose pictures of her genitals littered the internet? what about her antics of badmouthing and intimidating her teammates? a blatant liar who could say and do anything to stay in the media's light ...She accusing Blatter is like a kettle blaming the pot for its blackness.

Why do women wait years before coming out with these things?

This muscular babe.
