Hope Solo, the standout soccer goalkeeper, has been suspended for 30 days from the U.S. Women’s National Team for her most recent off-field antics.

Hope Solo Suspended

The WNT announced Solo’s suspension Wednesday, reported CNN.  The team vaguely stated that there was “an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp being held in Carson, California.”

U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Jill Ellis added in a statement, “During our current National Team camp, Hope made a poor decision that has resulted in a negative impact on U.S. Soccer and her teammates. We feel at this time it is best for her to step away from the team.”

Solo has also released a statement on the suspension: “I accept and respect the Federation’s decision, and more importantly, I apologize for disappointing my teammates, coaches and the Federation who have always supported me. I think it’s best for me to take a break, decompress from the stress of the last several months, and come back mentally and physically ready to positively contribute to the team.”

It’s speculated that the incident that Ellis and Solo are referring to is her husband Jerramy Stevens’ arrest. Apparently, Solo was traveling in the passenger seat with Steven’s in the early morning hours Monday when he was pulled over on suspicion of a DUI and was “belligerent” with the arresting officers, nearly earning a charge of disorderly conduct, reported TMZ.

Earlier this month, the two counts of fourth degree assault – resulting from an altercation with her half-sister and nephew last summer – were dropped against Solo. She had been accused of physically attacking both parties, though she maintained that she merely acted in self-defense. Since neither the half-sister nor the nephew appeared for a deposition, the judge dropped the charges.
