Hair pulling Ashton banned for the year
Published: Wednesday, 7. December, 2011 in category Southern Hemisphere

England wing Chris Ashton was banned for four weeks from all rugby on Tuesday for pulling the hair of Leicester Tigers’ Alesana Tuilagi during a tackle.

Ashton, who was punished by a disciplinary panel for “acts contrary to good sportsmanship,” will be free to play again on January 4 – a month before England begin the defence of their Six Nations title.

The incident, where Ashton tackled Tuilagi by grabbing his dreadlocks and then dragged him into touch, took place in the first half of a fiery East Midlands derby won 30-25 by Leicester at their Welford Road home and sparked a touchline brawl.

Tuilagi and Northampton flank Tom Wood were sent off but a disciplinary panel found the red cards they had received for striking were sufficient punishment and both can continue to play.

Judge Jeff Blackett, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) disciplinary officer, said: “We accepted that this started by accident but it became clear that at some stage Chris Ashton knew what he was doing.

“If you pull somebody by the hair there is an element of denigration and this act was a catalyst for a mass brawl that resulted in two red cards and significantly affected the image of the game.

“Without any laid-down guidance on sanction we have aligned the offence to that of spitting and reduced the entry level points to that of three, six and 10 weeks for low, mid-range and top end respectively.

“This was a mid-range offence but we have reduced the sanction by two weeks based on the player’s good record and conduct at the hearing.”

Ashton, who was ordered to pay £500 in costs, will now miss Northampton’s back-to-back European Cup fixtures against Castres and two Premiership games over the festive period.

This is not the first time in recent months that Ashton has been involved in unwanted publicity, having been one of the players pictured drinking in England’s infamous night out during the World Cup in Queenstown.

Ashton has 48 hours from receiving the judgment in which to appeal.

Another Saints player, Phil Dowson, was also suspended at the hearings on Tuesday for a dangerous tackle on Saracens’ Alex Goode in a previous Premiership match.

Dowson has been suspended for two weeks and was also ordered to pay £500 after he pleaded guilty and will be able to play again from December 20 onwards.

I’ll stop harping on about it now,

I’m sure Ryan’s just a passionate guy who takes his job (and himself) a little too seriously at times……

Not.

I made a remark to the effect that it must have been the “Keo Blogger who has a tux and can make the prize giving award”

It obviously offended his sense of pride.

Which is odd given the amount of stick that he gets on this site.

you’re more radical than me boet.

You’re the chosen one.
