Paris - A French court sent back the case against England rugby forward Steffon Armitage, who is accused of assaulting a man in the port city of Toulon where he plays, for further investigation on Tuesday.
The Toulon criminal court took the decision after a French prosecutor called earlier this month for Armitage to be handed a suspended jail term of between five and six months, and a fine of €5 000.
"The court considered that there were too many grey areas in this case at the end of a particularly rushed police investigation," Armitage's lawyer Virginie Pin told Reuters.
