Reconocido árbitro del fútbol colombiano fue sancionado "de por vida": esta sería la razón
La Comisión Arbitral de la Federación Colombiana de Fútbol tomó una de las decisiones más severas dentro de su marco disciplinario al sancionar de por vida al árbitro Jhon Hinestroza. La decisión implica su salida definitiva del arbitraje profesional y su exclusión total de las competencias oficiales del fútbol colombiano.

TL;DR
- Jhon Hinestroza, a Colombian football referee, has been banned for life from professional officiating.
- The decision was made by the Arbitration Commission of the Colombian Football Federation.
- The ban follows an incorrect handball call during a 2024 match between Once Caldas and Deportes Tolima.
- Hinestroza is now permanently excluded from official competitions organized by Dimayor.
- This sanction is considered one of the most severe within the federation's disciplinary framework.
- Questions have been raised about the consistency of disciplinary criteria applied to referees.
- Hinestroza had previously held FIFA accreditation but is now definitively out of professional Colombian football.
