What’s Wrong With The Wanyamas? Victor Wanyama’s Elder Brother McDonald Mariga Banned From Italian Football For Spilling Referee’s Blood

Just the other day it was Victor Wanyama who was banned from English football and now his elder brother has assaulted a referee!

Wanyamas must be too tough for European football; Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama was recently banned from EPL action for six weeks (five-match ban )after being red-carded for the third time in 2015/2016 season.

Victor’s elder brother McDonald Mariga Wanyama has also received a five-match ban from Italian football, Series B.

Mariga who plays for Unione Sportiva Latina Calcio was sent off in the second half while playing against Virtus Entella in the past weekend.

But before he left the pitch, the 29-year-old player went to shake the referee’s right hand and squeezed it so hard that it caused an abrasion which drew blood.

Mariga also insulted the referee after assaulting him. The disciplinary commission responded by slapping him with a five-match ban after launching an inquiry into his uncanny behavior.
