during Real Madrid's Supercopa de Espana win against Barcelona has
been upheld.
Ronaldo and Madrid took their appeal against the suspension
to Spain's Administrative Court of Sport (TAD), who chose to uphold
the original decision.
The Portuguese superstar came off the bench to score a stunning goal
in the first leg at Camp Nou before getting booked for removing his
shirt in celebration.
He was then shown a second yellow card after being adjudged
by referee Ricardo de Burgos to have dived, Ronaldo then pushing the
official in the back.
In confirming its rejection of the appeal, TAD wrote that "the push the
referee makes a record of can be seen in images of the game".
After Ronaldo's latest appeal failed, he will be unavailable for
Madrid's upcoming LaLiga matches against Valencia, Levante and
Real Sociedad.
Madrid won the Supercopa 5-1 on aggregate and opened their league
season with a 3-0 win at Deportivo La Coruna in Ronaldo's absence.
