Bloodgate
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
During the 2008–09 Heineken Cup quarter final against Leinster, Williams faked a blood injury to allow a tactical substituition to reintroduce Nick Evans leading to the bloodgate scandal. He then insisted the club doctor, Dr Wendy Chapman, cut his lip to create a real injury to cover-up the cheat, which she then carried out. This resulted in a 12-month ban for the disgraced Williams, (reduced to four months on appeal), a three-year ban for former director of rugby and former policeman Dean Richards as well as a two-year ban for physiotherapist Steph Brennan from the ERC with a £260,000 fine for the club.[6]
