Igralec ragbija pri francoski ekipi Catalans Dragons Joel Tomkins je prejel prepoved igranja na kar osmih tekmah, potem ko je na tekmi med enim izmed dvobojev z Richiejem Mylerjem nasprotniku porinil prst v zadnjico.

Catalans Dragons forward Joel Tomkins says his "conscience is clear" after receiving an eight-match ban for making "inappropriate contact" on Leeds full-back Richie Myler in his side's Super League play-off win against Leeds.

Do incidenta je prišlo pred nekaj dnevi tekom četrtfinalne tekme angleške Superlige, na kateri so Dragons (edini francoski klub v angleški ligi) premagali Leeds Rhinos s 26:14.
Glavni sodnik tekme sicer incidenta ni videl, tako da jo je Tomkins sprva odnesel brez kazni, a so vse skupaj zabeležile televizijske kamere, posnetek pa se je razširil po spletu, kjer je postal pravi spletni hit, Tomkins pa tarča posmeha.

So far in this game we’ve had an attempted decapitation from Micky Mac and an unnecessary prostate examination from Joel Tomkins. I can’t wait to see what happens in these last 20 minutes. #SLCatLee

Anyone know if Richie Myler has given Joel Tomkins his 2016 Grand Final winner’s ring back yet?

A po incidentu ne bo trpel le Tomkinsov ponos, temveč tudi denarnica, saj je suspendiran za naslednjih 8 tekem, plačati pa bo moral tudi 500 funtov kazni zaradi nešportnega obnašanja.
Ali ima ta človek samo noge zdrave?
