Ronan O'Gara has been handed a 10-week ban and has been slapped with a €15,000 fine by the French Rugby Union League for 'harming the best interests in rugby.'
As a result of the ban, O'Gara will be sidelined until January 30th, 2023, and will miss the upcoming Heineken Champions Cup pool stage games against Ulster and Northampton Saints.
The Heineken Cup winning coach of La Rochelle has also been issued a suspended fine of €5,000 on top of the €15,000 penalty.
