Emirates Western Force back, Cameron Shepherd, is likely to face an ARU Disciplinary Tribunal following an alleged code of conduct breach in December 2010.
Shepherd was charged by West Australian Police for driving with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit whilst on a suspended drivers licence.
Shepherd is currently awaiting notification from the Court as to the date of his hearing. The ARU Disciplinary Tribunal will consider the Court’s determination and will convene if required following completion of the legal process, which is expected to be finalised within the coming months.
In the meantime Shepherd will continue to train and prepare for the upcoming 2011 Super Rugby season.
As this matter will shortly be before the Court no further comment will be made at this stage.
ARU protocols require that all alleged code of conduct breaches for Australian contracted Super Rugby players are to be heard by an ARU Disciplinary Tribunal rather than at the provincial level..
