Duo await their fate after cocaine bust

Friday 14 Apr 2017

The French national league (LNR) had been expected to hand down a decision on Thursday, but a disciplinary commission spokesman said they were waiting to receive "complementary elements" before making a decision.

Williams and O'Connor were arrested after a police drug bust outside a nightclub near the Champs Elysees in February and later fined – Williams for buying cocaine and O'Connor for using it.

The 35-year-old lock Williams was fired by French Top 14 champions Racing 92 and 26-year-old O'Connor recently returned to Toulon following suspension by the club.

"I have given all the evidence, and I think they will understand that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, so yes, I'm sure it will work out," said O'Connor as he left the meeting on Wednesday after the opening session.
