This is in relation to the eye gouging of Ferris last week. Do the experts here think the photo was doctered? does the arm position look real or not?

No it's real. I have photos and that's Attoub who did that gouging.

That makes you a potential witness to the photograher in question.

I know. I'm waiting on a phone call

I'm of the same opinion and that's only based on this photo and I haven't seen any others. The way the shirt of his teammate is pulled down would be very hard to right right in photoshop.

I hope the french team face legal action for libel if they are wrong.

The only doctoring he could've done was a tight crop on the action and that's about it.

Very interesting.. Bit mad of them to suggest its been doctored.. They should get extra fine for making such wild claims..

It's a really pathetic effort by the French to make such a claim. I'm sure their claims will be quickly shot down.

I hope they get a nice long ban for their crime.

Clutching at straws on their part, take the punishment and move on.

Hmmmm....

What is it with the French and the use of their hands while playing football or rugby? :pac:

Attoub can't be suspended because they need more conclusive evidence. Hearing in January.
