FORMER LEINSTER AND Australia player Rocky Elsom called his conviction for misuse of corporate assets at French rugby club Narbonne “a clear perversion of justice” after an international warrant was issued for his arrest.
In a statement to The Sydney Morning Herald, the 41-year-old said he was not told about the hearing against him or given the chance to defend himself. “I have little more information on the evidence that was presented in the hearing than is in the public domain. So I can only address the allegations that have been raised publicly.
“I have not been questioned in this matter and the lengthy process seems to have deliberately excluded me from giving evidence.”
