'Bloodgate' doctor awaits disciplinary panel decision

A disciplinary panel today will consider today whether to issue a warning to the match-day doctor at the centre of the ’Bloodgate’ fake injury scandal.

Dr Wendy Chapman, who cut the lip of Harlequins player Tom Williams to cover up a bogus blood injury and later lied about her role in the event, was told by the General Medical Council (GMC) yesterday she could practise medicine again.
