Jonathan Danty does not take off.
Victim of a whim from Mathieu Acebes on Saturday in Perpignan (10-29) in the Top 14, the international center of La Rochelle refuses the excuses of the USAP captain.
As a reminder, Mathieu Acebes was sent off by the referee just before half-time in Perpignan-La Rochelle for throwing himself head first at Jonathan Danty, on the ground, in the middle of a collision with Afusipa Taumoepeau.
Under an image which presents the captain of the USAP behind a smiley Pinocchio, Danty always resents Acebes in his story.
“Yet it was premeditated, two minutes before you warned me.
That “you would take care of me”.
Before headbutting me when I was chatting on the ground with one of your teammates.
Your apologies are for the Disciplinary Committee.
You don't regret your action.
And I make no excuse,” Danty wrote.

Monday evening, Mathieu Acebes had however apologized on Twitter: "I am a great enthusiast of our sport, I have always defended it and its values ... I play with passion, unfortunately this weekend I lost the control of my emotions, Jonathan Danty is a player that I respect a lot and I deeply regret my gesture and I apologized immediately after the match.
I will bear the consequences of this unfortunate gesture.
Judging me on my values and my integrity in my private life on this single gesture is regrettable.
I don't want to give that bad image.
I will continue to work hard for the club.

A little earlier, the USAP had published a press release to denounce the threats and insults received by its player following his exclusion.
The Perpignan captain should be summoned next week by the Disciplinary Committee of the LNR (National Rugby League) by being automatically suspended for the trip from Perpignan to Clermont, this Saturday (5 p.m.).
