The doctor involved in the Harlequins ‘bloodgate’ scandal has been summoned to appear at a misconduct hearing on August 23.
Dr Wendy Chapman stands accused of intentionally cutting winger Tom Williams lip’ to cover up his use of a blood capsule in ‘Quins’ clash with Leinster in the 2009 Heineken Cup.
She also stands accused of not admitting to a European Rugby Cup committee that she caused the injury.
The Manchester General Medical Council asserts that her actions were ‘dishonest and likely to bring the profession into disrepute.’
“In order to protect her, we agreed that in the event the story of the fake injury was exposed I would say I cut my own lip.,†Tom Williams has said.
