Teddy Thomas fined by Racing 92 over France Six Nations behaviour
Friday 16 February 2018 10:25, UK
Racing 92 have fined Teddy Thomas for his "unsuitable behaviour" following Scotland’s victory over France in the Six Nations last weekend.
Winger Thomas, who scored two tries in the 32-26 defeat at Murrayfield, has already been dropped by France for the game against Italy on February 23, along with a number of other Les Bleus players.
France's squad was delayed in returning home Scotland after a number of the squad were questioned by police, and Racing have now imposed their own punishment on Thomas.
"The French Rugby Federation (FFR) has already sanctioned Teddy Thomas by suspending him from the team that will face Italy," Racing said in a statement.
"Racing 92 has opted for a financial penalty against this player retaining his ethics bonus for the month of February.

"Racing 92 wishes to demonstrate to Teddy Thomas that his unsuitable behaviour after the defeat of the France team against Scotland, Sunday, February 11, is not worthy of the professional he is and therefore cannot be tolerated."
