Ludovic Radosavljevic, the scrum half of Provence Rugby, was dismissed, AFP learned from the club, following racist remarks against Nevers player Chris Ambadiang during a match in early September. At 32, the former Clermont player is no longer part of the Provencal club, which plays in ProD2.
September 3, during the 2nd day of the Pro D2 championship between the club from Aix-en-Provence, and Nevers (26-23), the scrum half had verbally attacked his opponent during a stormy end to the match. Without naming the culprit, the Cameroonian winger then claimed on social media to have been called “banana eater“.
Radosavljevic had denounced himself three days later, qualifying his remarks “unacceptable“.”It is not part of my values nor of those that I pass on to my children, I remain a human who makes mistakes and I learn from them“, concluded the 32-year-old player in a message posted on his Instagram account.
On September 16, “Rado” had been sanctioned by the disciplinary committee of the LNR to “26 weeks of suspension from official competition matches”. This penalty, twice less than the maximum penalty incurred, had been decided because of “thea spontaneous recognition of the facts by the player“, of”his clean disciplinary record and expression of remorse before the hearing and at the hearing“, had specified the League.
