Panel allows doctor at heart of ‘Bloodgate’ scandal to continue practising medicine

Wendy Chapman, the doctor embroiled in the fake blood scandal at Harlequins, still has a career to pursue. The General Medical Council yesterday decreed that her ability to practise had not been impaired by her behaviour towards the end of the Heineken Cup quarter-final between Quins and Leinster in April of last year. The council ruled that Chapman failed to act in the best interests of her patient ? the wing Tom Williams, whose lip she sliced open with a stitch cutter as part of a substitution scam orchestrated by the London club's director of rugby Dean Richards, who is currently a third of the way through a three-year ban.
