The administrative court of Lyon rejected on Monday the request of the federation Red Umbrella which requested the cancellation of the prefectural order of expulsion of prostitutes from Gerland. According to the judges, "the pleas relied on do not appear, as the investigation stands, to create serious doubts as to the lawfulness of the contested order" The prostitutes who adjoin the grounds of Gerland had been evacuated in the calm at the beginning of May by the police.
The All Blacks team will settle down in the Gerland stadium which will become its base camp during the World Cup.
