The information is revealed by L'Équipe.
This Friday morning, the Ethics Committee of the FFR would have notified its president Bernard Laporte, the injunction to stand aside from his duties after his conviction at first instance, Tuesday, for corruption, influence peddling and unlawful taking of interest.
The members of the Ethics Committee, meeting on Wednesday and Thursday, had three options: to give an opinion, to recommend a recommendation or to make an injunction.
If this injunction is not followed by effect, the Ethics Committee could seize the Disciplinary Committee of the FFR, which could consider a disciplinary sanction.
Many calls for resignation
The Ministry of Sports (informed of this letter), the international federation (World Rugby) and the League (LNR) had also called on the president of the FFR to resign in recent days.
