At the end of the hearing of the Haut-Garonnais club on Monday in the case of the transfer of the international full-back, the LNR indicated that the decision had been “put under advisement”.
A long day of auditioning. This Monday, Stade Toulousain was heard at the LNR headquarters, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, by the French Rugby Disciplinary Council (made up of experts designated by the LNR and the FFR) on the nebulous transfer of Melvyn Jaminet in 2022 from Perpignan. This hearing – which lasted almost 4 and a half hours – was held behind closed doors, contrary to what the most successful club in French rugby (24 Brennus, 6 Champions Cup) had requested.
Leaving the hearing, the lawyer for the Toulousain stadium, Me Bruno Cavalié, indicated that there will be no “no communication at the moment. We’ll see once the decision is made.”. Stade Toulousain risks sporting sanctions: from the withdrawal of points for the current season to an administrative demotion to the second division, including non-participation in the final stages. “If points are taken away from us, we will have to look for them. If we are prevented from playing in the final stages, we will lose at least one title this year. international fullback Thomas Ramos declared on Sunday.

While the announcement of the possible event was initially planned for the weekend (Thursday or Friday), the National Rugby League indicated that “the Council has put the matter under advisement”the announcement could therefore be delayed by several days. If it is condemned by the French rugby authorities, Stade Toulousain – which had pleaded guilty and agreed to pay a fine of 1.3 million euros to the League for circumvention of the salary cap – would have the usual recourse: the FFR appeal committee, then the CNOSF (French National Olympic and Sports Committee) and, finally, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), based in Lausanne.
