Pakistan’s parliament fined members of its national field hockey team after photos surfaced of them hugging a female liaison officer at the Champions Challenge tournament in Argentina last month. Rehan Butt was fined $1,175 and coach Shahid Ali Khan and manager Asif Bajwa $588 each. Pakistan team members took pictures with the liaison officer during the official players’ night at the end of the tournament. “It is not our culture to hug a lady,” said Jamshed Dasti, chairman of Pakistan’s lower house standing committee on sports. “The players are ambassadors of their country, and they should remember this well.” The Associated Press
