Bloodgate doctor can return to work

Rugby: The matchday doctor at the centre of the “Bloodgate” fake rugby injury scandal was told today she can practise medicine again.

Dr Wendy Chapman cut the lip of Harlequins player Tom Williams to cover up a bogus blood injury and later lied about her role in the event.

A General Medical Council (GMC) disciplinary panel in Britain ruled Dr Chapman’s fitness to practise was not impaired despite her actions, which it said were not in the best interests of her patient.

She was suspended by the GMC last September and could have been struck off at the hearing in Manchester.
