YouTube上一段電視實況轉播影片顯示，波斯波里斯隊的後衛穆罕默德．諾斯拉提，在與達瑪希吉蘭隊比賽中慶祝進球時，捏了隊友謝伊斯．雷塞伊的屁股，諾斯拉提已被禁賽。

In another televised segment of the match shows Rezaei patting another teammate.

這場比賽的另一段電視轉播畫面，也顯示雷塞伊拍另一名隊友的屁股。

Although both Nosrati and Rezaei insisted the gesture was made in jest, the Iranian football federation FFI’s disciplinary committee suspended the two for their ’immorality.’

雖然諾斯拉提和雷塞伊都堅稱，只是開玩笑地做出這個動作，但伊朗足球協會（FFI）紀律委員會仍因這兩人的「不道德行為」予以禁賽。

Both players have also been suspended by Persepolis, and have been ordered to pay fines of 500 million rials each.
