Penis-biting player banned for five months over 'act of brutality' on opponent

The incident occurred in France after a post-match brawl broke out between players from SC Terville and AS Soetrich

An amateur footballer in France has been banned for five years after biting an opponent’s penis following an argument after a game.

The bizarre incident occurred in the town of Terville, which is around 200 miles east of Paris near the border with Luxembourg, following a match between local side SC Terville and AS Soetrich in November.

A dispute between the opposing sides escalated after full-time, with a violent confrontation breaking out in the dressing rooms and then in the car park.
