French Rugby Player Melvyn Jaminet Banned for 34 Weeks, Fined €30,000 for Racist Remarks
Jul 26, 2024, 02:16 PM
French rugby player Melvyn Jaminet has been banned for 34 weeks by the French Rugby Federation (FFR) after a video surfaced showing him making racist remarks. In the video, Jaminet made offensive comments about Arabs. The FFR has also imposed a €30,000 fine on Jaminet. Eight of the 34 weeks of his ban can be spent working with the FFR in schools on anti-discrimination efforts and with French youth teams on the dangers linked to alcohol and social networks. This decision underscores the FFR's commitment to addressing racism and promoting inclusivity within the sport. Initial reports suggested a 26-week ban according to RugbyRama.
