I am very ashamed, says rugby 'Bloodgate' doctor

The matchday rugby doctor at the centre of the “Bloodgate” fake injury scandal said today she was “ashamed” of her role in the event.

Dr Wendy Chapman said she still could not understand why she succumbed to “huge pressure” from Harlequins winger Tom Williams, who asked her to cut his lip as a cover-up after he bit into a fake-blood capsule.
