Atlas FC and the Mexican football federation have both released statements in support of Rafael Marquez.
On Wednesday, the Mexico national team and Atlas captain was sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury for his alleged support of a drug trafficking organization.
Marquez's club team and national team federation released statements supporting him on Thursday, but both also expressed their belief that Mexico is a nation of laws and that it was necessary to wait for justice to be done.
"The Mexican Football Federation and Liga MX are organizations that have absolute respect for the laws and regulations that support it," declared a statement on the Mexican federation's official website.
