Harlequins were at the centre of another row last night for refusing to hand over a confidential document containing the names of players involved in four other matches in which fake blood was used to simulate an injury, The Times reveals.
"The existence of the secret paper, which also lists the games, came to light during Dean Richards's evidence to the appeal hearing in Glasgow on Monday, when the former England No 8 made a full and frank confession.
"It included admitting that he and Steph Brennan, the Harlequins physiotherapist, had worked together on four separate occasions in attempting to cheat, using red dye to simulate an injury.
"The Times has been told by a club source that ERC has demanded a copy of that document, which was compiled by Harlequins as part of their internal investigation. However, the club are resisting the order because they feel it would constitute a breach of trust."
