A pair of Iranian footballers may face a public lashing after a bizarre goal celebration was deemed to have violated the country's strict homosexuality laws, Iran's state media reported.
The country's political, sporting and religious establishment wheeled on Mohammad Nosrati and Sheys Rezaei after television footage appeared to show Nosrati pushing his hand into his team mate's buttocks as they celebrated during scoring during a domestic league game.
Both men, who play for Tehran-based team Persepolis, were immediately banned from football for life for "immoral acts" and fined £25,000.
The Fars news agency, which often acts as an official mouthpiece for the Iranian government, quoted a judge who warned that "this action can be considered as a violation of public chastity."
Judge Valiollah Hosseini said: The punishment of this crime is prison up to two months and 74 lashes.
It is even worse to do these actions before the eyes of thousands of spectators and TV cameras.
