Argentine Court Rejects Medical Report in Rugby Players' Assault Case

The hearing on the non-lieu request for French players Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou remains set for October 18.

The Argentine justice system has dismissed a medical report presented by the accuser's defense in the case against rugby players Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou.
The report aimed to counter the players' defense, which attributes the accuser's injuries to a coagulation disorder rather than alleged violence.
The court has upheld the October 18 hearing date to consider the defense's request for a non-lieu, despite efforts to delay it.
Auradou and Jegou, accused of aggravated rape, maintain that the encounter was consensual and deny any violence.
Both players have returned to France and resumed their rugby careers while awaiting the legal proceedings.
