Toulouse Olympique's Corey Norman has been banned for eight Super League matches after he "intentionally placed a hand between the buttocks of an opposing player".
"The footage shows a deliberate placing of Corey Norman's hands and fingers on the buttocks and coupled with the immediate complaint from Holmes, the reaction of his team-mate Danny Walker and the statement of Holmes to which we have measured regard, we are entirely satisfied that this was an intentional placing of a hand between the buttocks of the opposing player and we find the charge proved."
The incident involving Oliver Holmes took place in the French side's loss to Warrington on Thursday.
A tribunal found Australian Norman, 31, guilty of a Grade F charge of Other Contrary Behaviour.
The half-back will miss the rest of the season for bottom side Toulouse.
I particularly like the last sentence. Very apt.
