RFU 'wash hands' of blood scandals

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Paul Kelso expresses his surprise at the RFU's decision not to pursue the other players guilty of faking blood injuries.

"In a remarkable decision that will raise questions about rugby's commitment to rooting out cheating, the RFU said it would not hold a fresh investigation into the four previous occasions on which Harlequins faked blood injuries because it would "continue to attract comment and speculation which might further damage reputations." Instead, RFU chief executive Francis Baron said he will commission a task force "to review all issues associated with recent events"."
