Breaking wind is a normal human tendency, right? But a Swedish footballer, Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, was yellow carded for it.

Yes!

Ljungkvist was playing at left-back in a match between Jarna SK's reserve team and Pershagen SK. He said he had a bad stomach and decided to "simply let it go". The 25-year-old footballer also said, "Then I received two yellow cards and then red. Yes, I was shocked, it's the strangest thing I have ever experienced in football."

The referee called it 'deliberate provocation' and even accused him of 'unsposrtsmanlike behaviour'.

Irked by the two yellow cards and then a red one, Ljungkvist asked the referee "am I not allowed to break wind a little?" to which the referee responded with a flat NO!

Opposition striker Kristoffer Linde told the local daily which reported the issue, "I was standing a good distance away but I heard the fart loud and clear. It's the strangest thing I've seen on a pitch, and I've been playing football since I was eight years old."

Dany Kako, the referee, is clear and proud of what he did. He confirmed that Ljungkvist got the second yellow card for breaking wind and said, "I perceived it as deliberate provocation. He did it on purpose and it was inappropriate. Therefore, he received a yellow card."

This is not the first time Kako is doing this. He said, "Kako said he had experienced similar incidents before. "Once there was a player who stood and peed next to the pitch. I showed him a yellow card, too."
