The player went to the regular courts after his appeals were unsuccessful and won a preventive reprieve after he had already served one of his sanctioned matches.
Canales maintained that his behavior “always with the referees on and off the field has been exemplary, showing them the utmost respect throughout my professional career.”
It’s been that way since I made my debut in 2008, and it continues to be that way now in the Mexican League. Therefore, I am glad that justice has prevailed. My conscience has always been very clear because I know that I did not make any mistakes in dealing with the arbitration team. If I did, I would apologize immediately.
