A professional South African rugby player has been slammed with a 13‑week ban for blowing his nose on another player during a game.

Cheetahs midfielder Nico Lee copped the large ban after he was cited for the act during a Pro14 match.

Lee admitted he "cleared the contents of his nose on to the face of an opposing player" to a judiciary, who responded with a firm stance.

The Judiciary also said the player's actions are an act of foul play and they have no place in the game.
