Wynne Arboleda, the pesky pointguard of Burger King Whoppers in the PBA, is barred from playing in the 35th PBA season after mauling a courtside fan during a game between Smart Gilas NT and Burger King. The suspension came after Comm. Sonny Barrios meted him the heaviest sanction the PBA has given to its professional players.
Arboleda's suspension will lose him 2.73 million pesos in salary and bonuses for the rest of the season. He will not be able to play in other leagues since he has a live contract with Burger King. He will also be barred from watching live PBA games during his suspension period. The Snatcher, his PBA monicker, is already 33 years old and will have a difficult time to earn his spot with the team next season. There were talks that the player might have been traded prior to this fracas to Red Bull Barako.
The PBA Commissioner's Office also released a press statement that PBA players whom will have the same gravity of offense made during the course of their careers will be banned for life from the professional league.
Arboleda's victim, Alain Katigbak, is set to file criminal and moral damages against the cager in court.
