LEICESTER HEAD COACH Michael Cheika has been given a two-week suspension after being found guilty of disrespecting an independent match-day doctor.
The 57-year-old was charged with disrespecting the match-day doctor following his first competitive game in charge of the club, a 17-14 win over Exeter on September 21. An alleged breach of the Rugby Football Union’s rule 5.12 – conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game and/or Union – was upheld by the panel.
“Although it was an unusual case because there was a lack of clarity about the decisions made about the head injuries, the decisions of the independent match-day doctor must be respected.
