Rugby Player Sends Snot Rocket Into Face Of His Opponent, Gets Suspended For Season

There was always that kid in your class in grammar school who was really good at snot rockets. I could never really do it without it ending up on my Gap sweater. Well, this South African rugby player is very good at it, however it got him suspended...

South African rugby player Nico Lee blew a snot rocket into an opposing player’s face mid-scrum in what has to be one of the nastiest cheap shots in sports history. After the incident, which occurred on Saturday in a PRO14 matchup between the Toyota Cheetahs and Connacht, a disciplinary committee found Lee had launched the mucus missile intentionally, handing down a 13-week suspension that will see Lee banned for the remainder of the season, barring appeal. “It is difficult to imagine how an act of foul play of this sort could be worse,” said the committee.
