An amateur soccer player in France has been suspended for five years for biting an opponent’s penis during a fight on the pitch.
The incident occurred during a game in November between SC Terville and AS Soetrich, two clubs in the eastern region of Lorraine, separated by just a 10-minute drive. When two players began fighting, the unidentified victim (a Terville player) stepped in to break it up, according to local news site Lorraine Actu. That’s when the Soetrich player bit the Terville player on the penis.
The victim was forced to go to the emergency room, where he received a dozen stitches to close the wound and was deemed unfit to work for four days.
