My ban violates human rights, says Colombian coach
REUTERS - Jorge Luis Pinto, coach of Colombian first division side Cucuta, has described his 10-match stadium ban for indiscipline as a breach of human rights.
Pinto, suspended after being sent off and insulting the fourth official 10 days ago, watched Sunday's home game with Atletico Junior from the office of a sports institute.
He gave his team talk via a closed circuit television network connected to the dressing room.
"I felt like I was in Guantanamo prison and that I was the object of a total disrespect towards human rights," the former Colombia and Costa Rica coach told the Futbolred website (www.futbolred.com).
