Chicho Arango, the Real Salt Lake captain and MLS’s leading scorer with 17 goals, has been suspended for three matches and next week’s MLS All-Star Game for violating MLS’s anti-harassment policy.

RSL said in a statement that it “has fully cooperated with Major League Soccer’s investigation and accepts the disciplinary decision.” No details on the violation were immediately released.

RSL sits in a three-way tie on points for the Western Conference lead with LAFC and the LA Galaxy. Arango’s influence on and off the field has been credited for RSL’s success.

The Colombian has 11 assists in addition to his 17 goals in his first full season in Utah. He returned to MLS in the middle of the 2023 season from Pachuca, where he spent the 2023 Clausura after helping LAFC win MLS Cup 2022.
