Euro bad boys in the dock on Wednesday
Bastareaud seemingly aimed a homophobic slur at Benetton's Sebastian Negri in a 36-0 victory for Toulon on Sunday.
The France centre claimed he was reacting to provocation and issued an apology, having appeared to call Negri "f***ing f****t" in the closing stages at Stade Mayol.
Bastareaud could be banned for between six weeks and a year less than a month before the Six Nations starts when he appears before an independent disciplinary committee in London.
Toulon condemned the comments Bastareaud is alleged to have made, but insist they will stand by their captain.
Rod McKenzie (Scotland), as Chairman, Jennifer Donovan (Ireland) and Becky Essex (England) have been appointed as the disciplinary committee to hear the complaint.
The complaint was made by citing commissioner Dennis Jones (Wales).
