'Bloodgate' doctor faces misconduct hearing

The doctor at the centre of the Harlequins ’Bloodgate’ scandal has been summoned to appear before a General Medical Council misconduct hearing in Manchester on August 23.

Dr Wendy Chapman, 46, is alleged to have deliberately cut the lip of Harlequins winger Tom Williams to cover up the use of a fake blood capsule in the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Leinster on April 12, 2009.
