Robert Kitson talks salaray caps with Wasps owner Steve Hayes in The Guardian.
"English rugby union is facing a crackdown on breaches of the salary cap, with administrators considering sanctions to match those which have seen an Australian rugby league club stripped of two championship titles. It is believed that one high-profile Guinness Premiership club could be charged next month amid concerns of widespread abuses.
"The London Wasps owner, Steve Hayes, is among those who allege the salary cap rules are being cynically exploited by certain individuals, whom Hayes accuses of defrauding the rest of the league and jeopardising the health of the professional game. Hayes says it would not surprise him if a well-known Premiership team were to be investigated.
"I've no hard evidence, just common sense," he told the Guardian. "You look at what's happening and what one club have been doing. I think they're going to have a challenge."
