Back in August, after the Olympics were over, U.S. Soccer suspended Hope Solo from the USWNT for six moths.
At the time, USSF claimed it wasn’t due to any one thing. USSF president Sunil Gulati said, “Taking into consideration the past incidents involving Hope, as well as the private conversations we’ve had requiring her to conduct herself in a manner befitting a U.S. National Team member, U.S. Soccer determined this is the appropriate disciplinary action.”
They were referring to at least two past incidents with Solo, one in which she was in a team van being driven by her husband who got pulled over and arrested for DUI (that one got her a 30-day suspension), and another in which she was arrested for domestic violence in the fourth degree in 2014.
