Nicknamed at some point with the ‘Storm Bird’ Cuauhtemoc Blanco is constantly in the eye of the hurricane, from his long and successful career as a professional soccer player, the so-called ‘Divo de Tepito’ has been immersed in a huge number of controversies and that has not diminished after his retirement in the distant year of 2016 in a game with the club of his loves, the Aguilas del America.
At 52 years of age, the man born on January 17, 1973 in Mexico City has not completely left the field of play and continues to appear in legends events such as the one that recently took place in McAllen, Texas, where a match was played between old glories of both the Coapa team and Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara, the biggest rivalry in Mexico, known as the Clasico Nacional.

How did Cuauhtemoc Blanco assault Sergio Hernandez?
During the match, a camera captured the exact moment when, after a push from behind by the ‘Rebao Sagrado’ goalkeeper Sergio Hernandez, the Mexican World Cup player in the editions of France 1998, South Korea / Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010 turns around and punches his opponent in the face, who immediately falls to the floor and stays there for several moments.
The red-and-white players immediately energetically claim the former governor of Morelos, who argues mostly with Hector Reynoso, who is the one who was marking him before the aggression occurred and after a few moments, the former player of clubs such as Necaxa, Real Valladolid (Spain), Tiburones Rojos del Veracruz, Chicago Fire (MLS), Santos Laguna, Irapuato, Dorados de Sinaloa, Lobos BUAP and Puebla goes to assist the assaulted goalkeeper and seems to offer an apology.
Cuauhtemoc Blanco’s controversies off the pitch
Beyond the constant disputes on the courts, Cuauhtemoc Blanco has much more serious accusations as the now federal deputy of the Movimiento de Regeneracion Nacional (MORENA) has an accusation of sexual abuse by his half-sister, in addition to multiple allegations of corruption and influence peddling coupled with multiple absences from his work as a legislator, the last documented while asking to be passed attendance despite being playing paddle tennis with his friends.
It was requested that Cuauhtemoc Blanco be removed from office so that he could face justice for the crime described above. However, this request was dismissed in a vote in San Lazaro a few months ago.
