A local league in France has suspended an amateur player for five years for biting one of his opponent’s penis during a post-match fight.
The crime was committed after a second division game between Terville and Soetrich in a local league on November 17, 2019. The incident took place after the match, in the stadium car park.
Players from each side started fighting, a Terville player joined in, apparently trying to separate them. The Soetrich player responded by biting the peacemaker’s penis.
The injured Terville player was also suspended for six months for involving himself in the fight.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw which would have given Terville their first point of the season but they were punished with two penalty points and a fine of €200 (about Shs800,000) for failing to meet their safety obligations as hosts and for the lack of reaction from club officials when the fight broke out.
