A combo photo shows Iranian national soccer team defender Mohammad Nosrati (L) and Persepolis team football player Sheys Rezaei at the Azadi stadium, in Tehran. Iran's football federation on October 31, 2011, imposed indefinite bans on the two Persepolis players Nosrati and his teammate Rezaei for their "immoral acts" during goal celebrations, state television's website reported. Footage on YouTube shows Nosrati pinching his teammate Rezaei's bottom as they celebrated a goal against Damash.

TEHRAN - Iran's football federation has suspended two players from the top team involved in an "inappropriate" goal celebration, the ISNA news agency reported on Tuesday.
The federation will issue a final verdict next week on Mohammad Nosrati, who appeared to briefly put his hand between the buttocks of Sheys Rezaei as Persepolis players huddled together to celebrate a goal against Damash Gilan in a televised match on Saturday.
The gesture might have caused little comment in the West where fans are used to "laddish" behaviour by soccer stars, but it caused some outrage in the Islamic Republic.
Jalal Yahyazadeh, a cleric and member of parliament, said the "shamelsss act" had "upset, angered and outraged" all sports fans and that the sports minister should be held accountable.
"What happened is absolutely not acceptable because it was a very ugly thing," he was quoted as saying by ISNA.
After the incident made headlines in some international media and with a clip available on the Internet, the federation's media committee met on Tuesday and "demanded that elements who damaged the country's sporting spirit be dealt with firmly," the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Soccer is the most popular spectator sport in Iran, although women are barred from attending matches.

This is really serious fuh dem fellas yes...
Mohammed Nosrati and Sheis Rezaei of Iranian league club Persepolis have already been banned indefinitely from entering any stadium in the country after celebrating goals in their side's nationally televised win over Damash Gilan last weekend by grabbing their teammate's backsides. They were also fined about $40,000 each. It was a harsh penalty for acts deemed "immoral" under the country's strict regulations, but it could end up being the easiest part of their punishment.

According to Iran's "semiofficial" Fars News Agency, the two players now face the very real possibility of imprisonment and 74 lashes on the pitch from which they've been banned.
From The Washington Post:
A judiciary official told Fars that Nosrati and Rezaei could also face public lashings, to be carried out on the soccer pitch where the behavior occurred.
According to the norms of ultra-conservative Iran, the players' "action can be considered a violation of public chastity," Judge Valiollah Hosseini told the news agency. "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," Hosseini added.
The two footballers do have their defenders, though they are far less powerful than those with the ability to punish them.
"Come and execute them if it relieves you," [former Persepolis coach Ali Parvin] said sarcastically.
If they're willing to publicly lash these guys for a bit of goosing, that probably isn't a suggestion you want to make (even sarcastically), Ali.
Former national team player Mehdi Mahdavikia said Iranian media were making a big deal out of the incident.
"When I was playing in Germany, such things happened all the time," he said.
And the only lashes the Germans give after such an incident are purely for the enjoyment of those involved.

From what I know about Iran's policy on gays they're lucky not to get stoned.
