Robert Cumming instructed in Michael Cheika rugby disciplinary hearing

Posted: 09/10/2024

Robert Cumming was instructed by the RFU in disciplinary proceedings against Leicester Tigers head coach, Michael Cheika (formerly the Australia and Argentina head coach). The case arose out of comments made to the Independent Match Day Doctor after the Gallagher Premiership match between the Tigers and Exeter Chiefs on 21 September 2024. Mr Cheika was charged with conduct prejudicial to the Union and the Game and was banned for 2 matches (one suspended) after a hearing before a panel chaired by the RFU Head of Judiciary, Richard Whittam KC.

Robert is a sports law and regulatory/disciplinary specialist and has represented both individuals and regulatory bodies before a wide variety of regulatory and disciplinary panels (particularly in the sporting and medical context).
