"Referee Alonso de Ena Wolf reported that Pique told him to 'leave with an escort so nobody attacks you' and mentioned that 'in another country they would beat you up, but here in Andorra we are a civilised country.'"
"The disciplinary committee stated that Pique's ban is 'for notorious and public acts that undermine sporting dignity and decorum, based on the facts recorded in the referee's report.'"
