U.S. Soccer Suspends Hope Solo for 30 Days

Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — U.S. Soccer suspended U.S. women’s national team goalie Hope Solo for 30 days Wednesday.
U.S. Soccer made the decision based on a situation that happened during training camp but would not specify what happened.
The gossip site TMZ is reporting, however, that the penalty came from her allegedly “belligerent” behavior towards cops during Monday morning’s DUI arrest of her ex-NFL player husband Jerramy Stevens in California.
Solo has been released from camp, and the suspension is effective immediately.
“During our current National Team camp, Hope made a poor decision that has resulted in a negative impact on U.S. Soccer and her teammates,” U.S. women’s soccer coach Jill Ellis said in a statement. “We feel at this time it is best for her to step away from the team.”
After the 30 days are up, if Ellis and U.S. soccer agree, Solo is eligible to be reinstated.
The team is currently training for June’s World Cup.
