A professional Rugby player named Nico Lee was suspended for 13 weeks after he admitted that he shot a snot rocket onto the face of a player on the opposing team during a match.
Due to the gross factor of the act the disciplinary commission considered a longer suspension, but since Lee admitted to doing it and his clean disciplinary record they settled at 13 weeks. Nico apologized for his “act of stupidity.”
