#3. Phil Blake
In 2015, the former Leicester Tigers defence coach has been handed a six-month ban by a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel, having been found guilty of two breaches of RFU Regulation 17 (Anti-Corruption and Betting).
The 51-year-old Australian was charged with betting on two matches, Leicester’s Champions Cup game against Toulon in December and the Premiership meeting with Newcastle in March.
The ban began on 24 May and will run until 24 November, and Blake was also fined £669 (the profit made on the bets placed).
Blake, who placed the bets on touch-screen self-service machines at Leicester’s Grosvenor Casino, told the disciplinary panel: “Having my whole career on the line for a minimum gain is something I will regret for the rest of my life.”
