Melvyn Jaminet banned

French rugby player Melvyn Jaminet has been suspended for 34 weeks and fined €30,000 after posting a racist video on social media during the team's tour in Argentina. In the video, he made hateful remarks about Arabs, stating he would 'headbutt' the first one he encountered. The French Rugby Federation (FFR) deemed his actions harmful to the sport's interests, and the suspension may be reduced by eight weeks if he participates in community service promoting anti-discrimination. Jaminet has expressed remorse for his comments, asserting they do not reflect his values. Meanwhile, his club Toulon has indicated support for his rehabilitation and understanding of the incident's seriousness. The incident follows the arrest of two other French players from the tour on sexual assault allegations, adding to the controversy surrounding the team.
