An independent Appeal Committee sat in London today (Tuesday, 2 March, 2010) to hear the appeal brought by Stade Français Paris player, David Attoub, against both the finding of foul play and level of sanction imposed by an independent Judicial Officer on Tuesday, 19 January, 2010.
The independent Appeal Committee, chaired by Professor Lorne Crerar (Scotland) and also comprising Rod McKenzie (Scotland) and Robert Williams (Wales) adjourned the hearing to consider the respective submissions made on behalf of Mr Attoub and ERC, and will give its decision on Friday, 5 March 2010.
