France full-back Melvyn Jaminet has been suspended for 34 weeks and fined 30,000 euros (\u00a325,335) by the French Rugby Federation (FFR) after he posted a racist video on social media.<\/b><\/p>\n

During France’s summer tour of Argentina earlier this month, the 25-year-old posted the video, which included a racist comment aimed at the Arab community.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the FFR said Jaminet had “harmed the best interests of rugby”.<\/p>\n

The Toulouse full-back can reduce his ban by eight weeks by taking part in anti-discrimination activities to “promote the values \u200b\u200bof sport”.<\/p>\n

Completion of those activities would free Jaminet to be available for selection before the start of the 2025 Six Nations.<\/p>\n

Jaminet, who was sent home from the tour, has said he is “deeply sorry and ashamed of my comments”.<\/p>\n

In a post on Instagram, he added: “Racism, in all its forms, is unacceptable and goes against everything I believe in.”<\/p>\n

Jaminet’s France team-mates Hugo Auradou, 20, and Oscar Jegou, 21, were charged with the aggravated rape of a 39-year-old woman<\/a> during the same tour. Auradou and Jegou say they had consensual sex with the woman and deny rape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
