Dean Richards’s reputation takes a further battering today with the publication of the latest judgments in the “Bloodgate” affair, writes Mark Souster in The Times.
"It is a damning indictment of the former England international, who resigned in disgrace last month. It suggests that Richards, the former directory of rugby, was ultimately responsible for the whole sorry saga.
In the judgment, one of four made public after the appeal hearing 16 days ago, the panel make reference to its concerns that Richards was not telling the truth. It offers sympathy for Williams and Dr Wendy Chapman, the match-day doctor who, Williams alleges, cut his mouth with a scalpel. The judgment says both were put under intolerable pressure by Richards."
