Mike Scott banned from involvement in rugby union for life following registration of London Welsh scrum-half The case was dealt with by Judge Jeff Blackett on papers and without a personal hearing at Scott's request. Scott accepted the allegation against him and submitted a written plea of mitigation. He has 14 days to appeal the judgement. The written judgement outlining the sanctions against London Welsh, which was made public on Thursday night following an RFU hearing on Tuesday, revealed Scott had been cautioned by police over his role in the matter. Judge Blackett's written judgement on the case revealed the application for Keats to be granted an ancestry visa had failed because Scott had omitted some of the required paperwork. As a result Scott then panicked and submitted false documents to the RFU. Scott also reiterated he had acted alone and no-one else at London Welsh was to blame for his actions. But Scott stated he had informed London Welsh of his actions in early December, although "in hindsight and unintentionally he did not explain himself fully." The written judgement continued: "He said he believed that he had made London Welsh aware of the issue in relation to the passport and player registration, but they mistakenly thought that he was only referring to the player's EQP status. He suspected that his explanation was not that clear as he was not well. He immediately disappeared for a few days having suffered an anxiety attack. In explaining the sanctions, Blackett said: "There is no place in the game for this type of behaviour or the type of person who would act in such a dishonest manner throughout an extended course of conduct designed to mislead both the Rugby Football Union and his own club. In those circumstances the appropriate sanction is that Mr Scott should be suspended from any involvement in the management, coaching or playing of rugby football union in any capacity for the rest of his life. Further he should not be a member of any club affiliated to the RFU for the same period.
