Scrum-half to discover fate on January 13
European Rugby Cup have confirmed that Julien Dupuy's appeal against a 24-week ban for eye gouging will be heard in Heathrow on January 13.
The Stade Francais scrum-half was handed the ban on December 18 for gouging Ulster flanker Stephen Ferris, but chose to appeal the suspension which was branded "excessive, very political and anti-French" by Stade owner Max Guazzini.
Dupuy's team-mate David Attoub will also appear at a hearing later the same day after his initial hearing was adjourned so that more evidence could be considered.
The prop was involved in the same incident during Stade's 23-13 Heineken Cup defeat at Ravenhill on December 12.
Perpignan prop Jerome Schuster is the third player summoned to Heathrow after he was cited for allegedly striking Munster number eight Denis Leamy with his head during the Irish province's 37-14 win at Stade Aime Giral in December.
