Mike Brown: Leicester back given swearing suspension

Leicester back Mike Brown has been suspended for two weeks after he swore at match officials following his red card in their 21-19 home defeat by Bristol Bears.

The 38-year-old former England player, who was sent off in the 71st minute after making head contact in a tackle, was given a five-week ban, three suspended to the end of the season.

Brown was also ordered to give “a presentation on the values of the game which is to be recorded and shared for educational use and to help demonstrate why such behaviour will not be tolerated in rugby”.

The loss to Bristol on 27 April ended Leicester’s hopes of reaching the end-of-season premiership play-offs.
