Brian Mujati allegations

Why is there no thread on the whole Brian Mujati thing? Pretty serious allegations on Twitter, or is this a no go thread?

FROM IRISH TIMES:

Leinster have launched an internal investigation after Northampton prop Brian Mujati alleged he was racially abused on the field during Friday's pre-season defeat to the Saints at Donnybrook.

Mujati used his Twitter account to make the accusations after the Saints beat Leinster 19-14 last night.

The Zimbabwean-born South Africa international has since removed the claims.

“Following allegations made by a Northampton Saints player this morning via his personal Twitter account, Leinster Rugby are holding a full internal investigation,” a statement read this afternoon.

“The managements of both teams are in close communication and hopefully the matter will be resolved as soon as possible.

“No further comment will be made at this time until that resolution has been reached.”

Interestingly he took down the tweets after an hour or so.

What did he say?

If he posted it on the web then its fair game to re post it regardless of him taking it down.

edit :Apperantly

Steven Sykes and Heinke van der Merwe were calling me a baboon during the scrums last night. Racism is still alive and things don't change.I was shocked by how how blatant theywere being and to think I actually thought I knew Heinke from back in the Lions days,The guy then tries to shake my hand after the game. Naturally I kindly told him to f%~k off. I wish them all the best with their careers.

Seems to be a fair bit of detail in that but why would he take it down so quickly? VDM played against him in May and their were no problems.

Is he leading VDM astray

At the moment these are unproven allegations.
There is an investigation underway and I think we should all just wait until that is complete before engaging in a trial by media

Well it's such an unlikely story: Two Dutch South African's racially abuse a black guy, who could concoct such a fanciful tail?

The fact that there was no serious scuffle, on the behalf of Mujati and the accused, for him to put it out of his own free will the next day, not as a defence, but just because he was pissed off. IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

Sounds like you have everyone on the way to the gallows already Isaac. Did I miss the bit where the Leinster players were given an opportunity to put their case forward?

A lot of time when this allegation is made its when there has been an altercation and someone plays the 'race card'. To me the fact that no major bust-up or 'rugby incident' has happened and this allegation has been put out there, not in the heat of the moment, but the next morning on twitter, well, does anyone see it any other way?

I'd presume they'd deny it though, and nothing may come of this anyway. If it is true is pretty embarrassing for them and Leinster.

Nothing too specific, just I heard his attitude wasn't the best. Seems he though he deserved special treatment.

I am glad Leinster are taking this seriously.

There is a stark contrast between the way they are handling this and the recent League of Ireland controversy when a Shamrock Rovers player was accused of racially abusing a Derry City player (the club basically instantly denied everything, attacked the player etc).

At least there is no culture of racism at Leinster and they are investigating it. I doubt this is a fabrication to be honest. I'd be inclined to terminate their contracts if this is true.

Special treatment? What exactly has Sykes done in his career? He shares a dressing room with players who have won leagues, Heineken Cups, 6 Nations, are internationals and have Lions caps. What a muppet.

The word TAIL as you meant to use it is more correctly spelt TALE. So considering the fact that basic english language spelling is outside of your realm of knowledge I would wonder what you know about South Africans .

He can't spell correctly in context and you can't use technology (double post!). Would you say Isaacs is due to inability and yours is just a mistake or how do you explain it??

Slum, you'd have to elaborate before Sykes' character is to be stained even more
