Cristy Ramos not happy over the dismissal of sexual harassment charges vs Azkals
MANILA, Philippines - Cristy Ramos, daughter of former President Fidel V. Ramos, expressed disgust over the Philippine Football Federation’s verdict (PFF) clearing the two Azkal players she accused of “sexual harassment.”
In an interview on News5, Cristy Ramos said that the decision means only one thing - "they don’t care about the behavior and character of the players. I’m truly disappointed and disgusted with the decision".
According to Ramos the disciplinary committee didn't have at least one female member. She also higlighted that the PFF has a disciplinary committee but they don’t have the ethics committee or the appeals committee.
However, contrary to Cristy's claim, PFF has an avenue where she can appeal the dismissal of sexual harassment charges against Azkals members Lexton Moy and Angel Guirado. Lawyer Gregorio Larrazabal wrote on Twitter that PFF actually has an Appeals Committee, which he heads.
Philippine Football Federation Discipline Committee (PFFDC) dismissed the sexual charges for lack of evidence. The committee found no grounds for the complaints but due to “breakdown in discipline”, the Philippine National Football Team are sanctioned. Guirado and Moy got one-game suspensions each, as did James Younghusband. Coach Michael Weiss and team manager Dan Palami were removed for two games each while assistant coach Edzel Bracamonte was suspended for one match for “failure in leadership.”

Serena Williams lands ‘Golden Slam’ in London Olympics 2012
Serena Williams is the first player to win all four Grand Slams and an Olympic title in singles and doubles. Serena earned the title after winning her Olympic tennis singles gold on Saturday.
Serena William demolished No. 3 seed Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 in just over an hour to complete her “Golden Slam”. She utterly could not contain her joy and excitement as she waited to step on to the podium to collect her medal.
“I didn’t think I would be this happy. I’m so pumped,” the 30-year-old said, laughing off a mishap which saw the US flag whipped off the rail by a gust of wind half way through the national anthem. “I never thought I would have a gold medal in singles.”
Williams, who already had two doubles gold medals with sister Venus, has surpassed the rare singles Golden Slam, a feat only achieved by Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal.
“It’s a great feeling. I never thought that it would happen to me. Steffi Graf was such an inspiration,” she said. “I always thought the one person I wouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as was Steffi Graf.”
