Rugby Spectator Banned for Urinating on Linesman

(Reuters - Jan 10, 2003 )


LONDON (Reuters) - A spectator who urinated on a linesman at a sevens tournament in Kent southeast England last year has been banned from any rugby activity for five years by the Rugby Football Union (RFU).

An RFU disciplinary panel found Vince Dunne, of Croydon, guilty of "conduct which is prejudicial to the interests of the game" after the incident involving a 16-year-old linesman in May last year.

Dunne's Surrey club, Shirley Wanderers RFC, has already terminated his membership.
