ADAM Doueihi’s second appeal was heard tonight by the Judiciary Appeals Tribunal.
Following the meeting it has now been revealed that Doueihi (Lebanon) was unsuccessful in his appeal against a one-match suspension for Grade A Foul and/or abusive language to a Match Official during the match against New Zealand on 16 October.
A summary of the minutes from the Judiciary Appeals Tribunal will be available shortly, but Doueihi will now serve a one-match ban and miss Sunday’s clash against Ireland.
It will be a massive loss for the Cedars, with Doueihi’s absence in the last 20 minutes of Lebanon’s valiant 34-12 loss to New Zealand proving just that.
Tribunals are independent of the RLWC2021, made up of a legally qualified Chair and assisted by side members with relevant experience such as ex-professional players, coaches or match officials.
RLWC2021 would like to thank the Judiciary Appeals Tribunal panel HHJ Sarah Wright, Alan Hunte and Adrian Morley.
