The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation suspended for allegations of sexual abuse
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) suspended for a term of 30 days, starting of this Sunday, to its president, Rogério Cabloco, who was accused by an employee of the entity of Moral and sexual abuse .
Cabloco’s suspension from his duties as president of the CBF was adopted by the entity’s Ethics Committee, which has also convened an extraordinary meeting of all its directors for this Monday.
The crisis around Caboclo has exploded a week before the start of the Copa América, whose organization has been awarded to Brazil after the resignations of Argentina and Colombia and despite the fact that the country is one of the most affected by the coronavirus, with more than 472. 000 deaths and on the threshold of a new wave of the pandemic.

The place of Cabloco will be temporarily assumed by Antonio Carlos Nunes, current Vice President of the CBF, who will be in charge of the entity at least during the next days, a period that coincides with the America’s Cup, which will begin the next day 13 of June.
The celebration of the continental tournament in Brazil, due to its serious health situation, has unleashed a huge controversy in the country, but has been supported by Conmebol, the CBF and the government of the far-right Jair Bolsonaro.
That decision has also caused discomfort on the Brazil’s selection, to the point that and coach Adenor Leonardo Bacchi ‘Tite’ have suspended their usual press conferences since it was announced.
Training the selection in recent days have been distant from the press and, in the midst of that silence , the local press weaves numerous guesses.

One of the most insistent states that, after the next game Tuesday with Paraguay, which will end a new round of the South American qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar 2021, Tite will present his resignation and will be replaced immediately by Renato Gaúcho, who is currently without club.
The local press also claims that the players will publish a manifesto to express their discomfort with the Copa América and conjecture with the possibility that many decide not to play the tournament, although none of that has been confirmed.
Caboclo’s relationship with Tite and the national team was already distant, but the problems would have worsened after the complaint filed last Friday by an official of the entity.
According to that employee, whose name remains in reserve, Caboclo tried to sexually abuse and morally pressured her since April 1999 during trips and meetings, many of them occurring in front of other people.
