Story highlights U.S. Soccer team suspends star goalkeeper Hope Solo for 30 days

Solo apologizes on Facebook page and says, "I think it's best for me to take a break"

(CNN) Hope Solo, the soccer star who makes headlines whether she's winning Olympic gold or having domestic violence accusations dropped against her, did it again Wednesday when she was suspended from the U.S. Women's National Team for 30 days.

The team said the suspension stemmed from "an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp being held in Carson, California."

Solo's husband, former pro football player Jerramy Stevens, was charged with driving under the influence during the early morning hours Monday in Manhattan Beach, California, about 12 miles from Carson. The Los Angeles Times reported that Solo was in the passenger seat.

"I accept and respect the Federation's decision, and more importantly, I apologize for disappointing my teammates, coaches and the Federation who have always supported me," Solo said in a statement posted on her Facebook page. "I think it's best for me to take a break, decompress from the stress of the last several months, and come back mentally and physically ready to positively contribute to the team."

The suspension means Solo, a goalkeeper, will miss the U.S. team's matches in France and England in February. She can apply for reinstatement when the suspension ends.
