US Rugby Star Alev Kelter Gets 3-Match Ban for Stamping on Opponent's Head
- United States rugby star Alev Kelter received a three-match ban for stamping on an Australian opponent's head during a Pacific Four Series test on Saturday in Sydney.
- The ban followed a red card shown to Kelter in the 79th minute when video evidence confirmed she had stamped on Australian center Georgie Friedrichs, leading to a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
- At the hearing, Kelter accepted reckless foul play without intent to target the head, and the disciplinary committee reduced her suspension from six to three matches due to mitigating factors including remorse and past record.
- Barrett-Theron stated on the field that player number 12 in blue, Kelter, would be shown a final red card due to a dangerous and intentional act of foul play, while Friedrichs was reported to have sustained only minor injuries.
- Kelter will miss Saturday’s Pacific Four test against New Zealand and two U.S. Club matches, reflecting rugby’s strict rules aimed at reducing head injury risks in the contact sport.
