Former South African rugby boss Brian van Rooyen has been barred from serving in any capacity on the general council and committees of the South African Rugby Union, the union said on Thursday.
It said Judge Joos Hefer imposed this penalty after finding Van Rooyen guilty of contravening the union’s code of conduct on six of the 11 charges that were brought against him.
Hefer adjudicated in a disciplinary inquiry last month into the conduct of the former president of the South African Rugby Union and director of SA Rugby (Pty) Ltd.
Van Rooyen was also barred from serving on the board of directors of the company. — Sapa
