The drug trafficking-themed party in homage to 'El Chapo' Guzman to celebrate his son's 12th birthday got Liga Mx player Cata Dominguez into big trouble.

Accused of being an apologist for drug-related crime, the Cruz Azul player has already accepted that he made a mistake, but Liga Mx is waiting for the club to sanction its player.

Meanwhile, according to information from the website Medio Tiempo, the Disciplinary Commission has condemned the controversial celebration and will open an investigation into Julio Cesar Dominguez.

Although the organiser and main responsible for the narco-themed party is Cata Dominguez, his teammates Erick Lira, Carlos Rodriguez and Carlos Rotondi are also involved.

Cruz Azul players could be banned over controversial party

In recent years there has been an increase in cases of violence related to organised crime, on Thursday the arrest of Ovidio Guzman, one of the sons of 'El Chapo', led to more chaos.

It's said the party organised by Julio Cesar Dominguez sends the wrong message of acceptance for crime, which can even be criminally sanctioned.

On the sporting side, Cruz Azul players breached Liga MX's Code of Ethics, which was published in 2017 and calls for good conduct by all its players on and off the pitch.

All those involved in any way with the Mexican Football Federation shall respect the dignity of persons and avoid carrying out discriminatory acts, according to Article 6 of the Code of Ethics, while Article 7 states that members shall "maintain neutrality on political issues and avoid actions that cause violence among fans".

Although there is no specific mention of drug trafficking in the code, it is understood to be part of the issue of violence.

The sanctions being considered include a warning, but could be increased to community service, a temporary suspension, a fine or a ban from Mexican football.
