Indeed, the strong man of the Var staff has was suspended for six weeks. To be precise, the former scrum-half initially received a nine-week sanction “reduced to six after taking into account extenuating circumstances.” Mignoni admitted his guilt and then behaved well before and during the hearing, which reduced his sentence.
