Laid off since last month for arriving drunk at training, Camille Chat (29 years old) is leaving Racing 92 after twelve years spent under the colors of the Hauts-de-Seine club. The hooker and his managers would have agreed on an amicable separation.
Camille Chat and Racing 92, it's over! Olympic Midday tells us this Monday that the emblematic hooker of the Hauts-de-Seine club will not continue the season in the colors he has worn for twelve years and which were also the only ones the 29-year-old player has known since his professional debut. Cat will indeed leave Racing immediately. Or the aftermath of an internal affair which began on December 16 when the former international (33 caps for the XV of France) showed up at training still alcoholic for a Christmas meal which took place was held the day before between the players, two days after the slap received in the Champions Cup against Sale (29-7). First excluded from the group (for the trip to Montpellier, with a new defeat on arrival for the Racingmen), in the same way as his teammate and competitor for the position Janick Tarrit, who had not even presented himself at the training center the day after this same meal organized to celebrate the end of the year, Chat was then laid off.
Cat had extended his contract until 2027
Fifteen days after being sanctioned by his leaders, the native of Auxerre learned that he would not continue the adventure with the Bleu ciel et Blanc. The Team indicates that it was President Laurent Travers himself who asked to bring together the players this Monday to announce to them that the one who had extended his contract two years ago by five years – a long-term contract which he will therefore not honor not – would no longer be their teammate in the future. The two parties reportedly recently agreed on an amicable separation. THE Midol recalls that Chat, who has more than 400 matches played with Racing, fell through the cracks last year after injuring the face of one of his partners (Vinaya Habosi) during an internship in Spain. This was not the case this time, and the French champion hooker and three-time Champions Cup finalist was therefore forced to abandon this Racing where he had secretly hoped to spend his entire career. A hell of a clap of thunder.
