Ex-Harlequins director of rugby Dean Richards has been banned from coaching in European competition for three years for his role in the fake blood injury. Tom Williams faked injury to allow fly-half Nick Evans to return to the field in a Heineken Cup tie against Leinster. Winger Williams's initial 12-month ban has now been reduced to four months. Quins' fine was increased to £259,000 but European Rugby Cup (ERC) stopped short of the ultimate sanction of throwing them out of this year's Cup. The original fine of 250,000 euros (£206,000) had been half suspended, but the new amount is payable in full. However, Harlequins will be relieved not to have been thrown out of this season's Heineken Cup, which might have cost them 15% of their annual revenue. :angry: Physiotherapist Steph Brennan was handed a two-year ban after an admission of guilt, but the appeal committee dismissed the charge against Dr Wendy Chapman from the club's medical staff. Former England forward Richards, who resigned from his position as director of rugby at Quins last weekend, was also found to have been involved in four similar incidents, hence the severity of his punishment. :o Reacting to his ban, Richards said: "I'm surprised. Three years is a long time but I'll reflect on it overnight. "I took full responsibility for it. It was a farcical situation, it really was. "It didn't pan out particularly well on the day. Everybody looked at it and thought, 'That's unreal', which is what I thought on the touchline as well. "But I had to hold my hands up." The cover-up is thought to have involved Williams' face being deliberately cut after the Leinster match to hide the fact he had used a fake blood capsule. :o Richards said: "I have no knowledge of that. I wasn't party to anything going on there. "I'm not aware that it did happen. I know that he had a cut but I don't know how it came about because I wasn't in the room." Richards had not decided whether to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. He said: "I'm a little bit shocked, a little bit surprised by it all. "It seems a little bit disproportionate but, at the end of the day, I'll reflect on it overnight and obviously see where my thoughts are in the morning." Reading a statement, Williams said: "I sincerely regret the role that I've played in this unacceptable incident that has done so much damage to the image of rugby union. "I let down my team-mates and the club's fans, and I'll have to live with those actions for the rest of my career. "In deciding to come clean and do the right thing, I've tried honestly to rectify this mess and repay the good faith shown in me by my friends and family. "I would like to thank the ERC disciplinary panel for their decision to reduce my sanction and I am relieved that they did this. "However, I also realise the grave error of judgment that I have made." He added: "I hope that, as a result of this episode, no player or employee will ever be put in such a compromised position, and if they are then they will always tell the truth, as I had wished I had done from the outset." The Professional Rugby Players' Association welcomed the decision to reduce the ban handed down to Williams. "We are grateful to the ERC disciplinary panel that Tom's ban has been reduced on appeal, but the aftermath of this episode has left an indelible stigma on the professional game," said PRA chief executive Damian Hopley. "Tom is a fine young man of good character, even though he is guilty of a serious error of judgement, albeit under instruction from his employer. "He has been under tremendous pressure since the original incident in April, but his determination to tell the truth and attempt to undo the damage done to himself, his family and the image of the game speaks volumes for the enormous remorse he feels." The sanction on Richards applies to ERC-organised tournaments, though the ERC will request it is extended to become a worldwide ban. The decision, which cannot be appealed against, was made by an independent ERC disciplinary committee in Glasgow late on Monday. A statement on the club's website said: "Whilst the club are pleased that Tom Williams' ban has been reduced, we feel this is a very significant penalty in terms of fine. "We will now continue with our internal review into all aspects of the business to ensure that we have the most stringent compliance and robust policies and processes in place throughout the club and work towards rebuilding our reputation on and off the field. "We hope that the club can now draw a line under what has been a difficult few months, learn from it and move on." Evans had departed injured in the 47th minute of the 6-5 defeat by Leinster before his replacement at number 10, Chris Malone, also went off injured later in the second half. With time running out, Williams was seen with what appeared to be blood coming out of his mouth, which meant he could go off to be replaced by specialist kicker Evans. Evans missed a drop goal as the Irish side held out for the win before going on to win the Heineken Cup. Television pictures appeared to show Williams winking at the bench as he went off. ;) Leinster were incensed and their club doctor, Professor Arthur Tanner, followed Williams down the tunnel but was prevented from entering the treatment room. Source: BBC News I am not a fan of rugby at all, but I find this story pretty incredible. It sounds like a movie plot, you just wouldn't believe that someone could dream up a scheme to cheat during an actual match. And to think footballers get a bad press for feigning injury.

Son of my father moulded, I was folded, I was preform-packed Son of my father Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac' Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts What on earth is that all about :lol: Another contender for silly lyrics must be...

Time heals all wounds – and in just nine years, it may even return Paul McCartney's publishing rights. According to a clause of the US Copyright Act, many of McCartney's Beatles songs will be eligible to be "recaptured" in 2018, decades after they were sold to ATV Music and then Michael Jackson. Though it does not apply in the UK, the United States' 1976 Copyright Act gives songwriters an avenue for reclaiming lost publishing rights on songs released before 1978. All they have to do is to wait 56 years – meaning that songs like Love Me Do, released in 1962, will be eligible in 2018, while later tracks like Let It Be become available in 2026. If the songwriters die before the 56-year wait is up, as John Lennon did, their heirs may even be allowed to reclaim publishing rights at an earlier time. In Lennon's case, an agreement between rights-holders and his widow, Yoko Ono, reportedly superseded the act. Of course, McCartney's ability to recapture his rights is by no means guaranteed. Several variables, including agreements made with Lennon, may affect the process – and the songs' current owners will not hand them over quietly. Still, major rights-holders have had victories in the past, including Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster's reclamation of the copyright to Superman. McCartney has spent years bemoaning, mourning and pursuing his lost songwriting rights. Though he has continued to receive performance royalties on Beatles songs – helping him to achieve a reported £440m fortune – McCartney and Lennon's publishing imprint, Northern Songs, was sold to ATV Music in 1969. ATV was purchased by Michael Jackson in 1985 and was later split 50-50 with Sony. Though Jackson was briefly rumoured to have bequeathed the songs to McCartney, there was ultimately no such provision in the will. Jackson's remaining holdings in ATV/Sony will instead be passed on to his estate. Sony/ATV holdings is currently valued at about £1bn Source: The Guardian

More than 40 years after the cinematic success of The Yellow Submarine, the animated film that epitomised the height of psychedelic pop culture and featured a Beatles soundtrack – it is to be re-made in 3D by Disney. The Hollywood director, Robert Zemeckis, who is best known for the spectacular special effects of his previous films which include Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, has been brought on board. The original story was written by Lee Minoff and based on the song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, with some of the dialogue scripted by poet Roger McGough. The film captures an underwater paradise that finds itself menaced by the music-hating “Blue Meanies”. The Beatles’ own contribution was limited. The band only agreed to the film as a means of fulfilling their movie contract and their animated characters were voiced by other actors. But on seeing the finished version, the group agreed to appear as themselves in the final scene. The upgraded version is to use the state-of-the-art techniques that Zemeckis employed on his visually striking films, The Polar Express and Beowulf. The studio has already pencilled in a tentative release date of summer 2012. But Variety magazine cautioned that lawyers were still in the middle of attempting to secure rights to the 16 original Beatles songs, including All You Need is Love and Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. There has been no confirmation yet on the involvement of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two surviving Beatles. While some fans may see a re-make as sacrilege, Connor McNicholas, the former editor of NME, welcomed a 3D version that re-introduced the classic film to a new generation. “When I was a child, I was absolutely transfixed when I caught it on television. It was tremendously surreal animation and it didn’t have a traditional narrative or characters, and it had a very big effect on me. It’s very easy to have a knee jerk reaction to a re-make as some may see the film as preserved in time, but nothing is wrong with completely re-imagining it in 3D. It is a part of popular culture so it should be allowed to live on,” he said. Source: The Independent
