French rugby referees are suing controversial Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal for defamation after he made lurid accusations in the wake of a Top 14 defeat.
Boudjellal is the flamboyant millionaire who lured Sonny Bill Williams away from the NRL to play French rugby back in 2008.
The referees union (UNAR) are angry that Boudjellal spoke of “refereeing sodomy” in the aftermath of his team’s 25-19 loss to Clermont on January 8.
“I am not surprised that they are attacking me. With what they are paid, they need the money,” said the Toulon chief.
Boudjellal is also facing a 60-day suspension by the national federation for his outburst.
