Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because discipline in sports isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for and the decision on whether to charge someone with a criminal offence is taken by the police and Crown Prosecution Service and not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
