Toulon owner fined €75,000 for 'discriminating and insulting' comments

He criticised the morals of the "Mormon Welsh and Irish" and defended the use of a homophobic slur.

Toulon owner and president Mourad Boudjellal has been slapped with a €75,000 fine for serious misconduct.

European rugby's governing body, the EPCR, said comments he made last January "allegedly condoned homophobic conduct, discriminated against and insulted various groups, and brought the game of rugby into disrepute by attacking, disparaging and criticising EPCR".
