A former All Black was banned from playing in Perth by WA rugby authorities after it was revealed he allegedly owes a string of girlfriends around the world, including in Perth, thousands of dollars.
Regan King allegedly used his good looks and rugby talent to get large amounts of money from the women as well as friends and club members over a number of years.
King, 38, played for New Zealand’s famed All Blacks, scoring a try in his debut game against Wales in 2002 — and even meeting the Queen.
In June, RugbyWA banned him from playing for the ARKS club in Harrisdale after the allegations were raised while they investigated whether he was a “fit and proper person to retain his status as a registered rugby union player in WA”, The
West Australian has reported.
However, the State’s peak rugby body backed down after King, through his lawyers, challenged the ban, arguing that what happened off the pitch should have nothing to do with his registration.
“The allegations relate to civil disputes which are personal to the parties concerned, have no connection to RugbyWA or the game of rugby union and accordingly ... should not reasonably be of any concern or interest to the defendant,” the writ says.
