Mexico soccer stalwart Rafael Marquez was sanctioned Wednesday by the United States Department of the Treasury for his alleged support of a drug trafficking organization.
Marquez, who now plays for Liga MX club Atlas and has played for Barcelona as well as several clubs in Mexico and for the New York Red Bulls in MLS, was cited as having a long-time relationship with Flores Hernandez.
