Bloodgate

Maybe you haven’t heard of this one but this British rugby scandal is unprecedented. The Harlequins’ Tom Williams had a fake blood capsule that he used in 2009 during their quarter finals’ game against Leinster. With ten minutes left, he used the capsule to fake a blood injury and have a replacement brought on. Even the team doctor was involved.

The doctor tried to cut Williams’ mouth afterwards to cover up their fake capsule. As a result, the head coach, Dean Richards, was banned from rugby for three years and even fined £260,000.
