Onderwerpe: 2015 Copa America, CONMEBOL, Brazil, Neymar
The Brazilian player was handed the punishment after CONMEBOL officers examined the referee's report, which accused Neymar of insulting him and Colombian players.

Neymar's sanction was harsher than anyone could have thought, after CONMEBOL had decided to think over their decision. Yesterday, the South American office determined to ban Neymar for one game, revealing that an investigation would keep going in order to establish what the Brazilian's punishment should be for his behaviour after the final whistle. Today, disciplinary officers determined a four match ban on the Barcelona wingman, which means he will miss the entire competition.

According to the referee, Neymar insulted him while both were in the tunnels leading to the dressing rooms. The exact words the Brazilian said where: "You want to become famous on my account, you motherf****r". With that in mind, all that Neymar did on the pitch when the final whistle was blown, such as kicking the ball to Armero's head, trying to head-butt Jason Murillo and tearing apart Carlos Bacca's shirt, were not taken under consideration to decide the punishment. 

Neymar's behaviour has been the subject of controversy ever since he won the Champions League with Barcelona, when former captain Xavi told the press the Brazilian should change some of his manners to become a true legend. Furthermore, legendary striker Ronaldo criticized Neymar for his display against Colombia, stating that he "can't behave like that when he's wearing Brazil's jersey. He has to set an example."
