Toulon prop Martin Castrogiovanni is being investigated by Europen Professional Club Rugby for his foul-mouthed rant at Welford Road.
The former Leicester Tigers stalwart launched a scathing attack littered with swearwords on his old club and coach Richard Cockerill after their European Cup clash on Sunday.
Castrogiovanni's teammate Delon Armitage is also being investigated for using offensive language at or near spectators.
EPCR's Disciplinary Officer is now investigating those incidents to determine, among other things, whether there are grounds to bring misconduct complaints against those involved under the Disciplinary Rules of the European Rugby Champions Cup Participation Agreement.
The Disciplinary Officer has requested information from Leicester Tigers and the two players, and will also review all other available evidence before deciding what the next steps, if any, will be.
Should the Disciplinary Officer decide that there are grounds to bring a misconduct complaint in respect of one or both of the incidents, the case or cases would be heard by an independent Disciplinary Committee under the Disciplinary Rules. In the meantime, both players are free to play.
