Independent Panel Rescinds Ramos Red Card
Published on June 7, 2017 under Major League Soccer (MLS) News Release
NEW YORK - The Independent Panel, consisting of one representative from the United States Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association, and one representative from the Professional Referees Organization, has unanimously rescinded the fine and one-game suspension for the red card issued to Orlando City SC defender Rafael Ramos for serious foul play in the 26th minute of Orlando's match against the Chicago Fire on June 4.
As a result of Orlando City SC's appeal, Ramos will be eligible to play in Orlando's next regular season match against the Montreal Impact on June 17.
Each Club is entitled to two unsuccessful appeals per season, including playoffs. Since Orlando's appeal was successful, the team maintains two unsuccessful appeals for any future dismissals in the 2017 season.
