Melvyn Jaminet soon to be questioned by RC Toulon after his racist remarks posted on Instagram

International player Melvyn Jaminet has been summoned to a preliminary interview in the coming days before a probable sanction by Rugby Club Toulonnais, following his racist comments posted on his Instagram account during the French XV’s tour of Argentina, reports France Bleu Provence.

Melvyn Jaminet is back in the Var after his exclusion from the group by the French Rugby Federation. In this case, discretion is required, because the player and his brothers were victims of threats. Faced with the violence of the remarks made on social networks in certain comments and given the threats weighing on the Jaminet family, France Bleu Provence has chosen not to give the precise date of this interview in order to ensure the player’s safety.

At the beginning of the week, around twenty young people from a Toulon estate entered the training centre to demand explanations. Laurent Emmanuelli, the sporting director, recalled the club’s condemnation of the remarks.
