What happened in the early hours of Friday, January 31, near the Jean-Jaurès car park, in downtown Toulouse? Blows were exchanged between Bastien Chalureau, second line of Stade Toulousain, and a group of night owls. But not only, according to protagonists.

In the columns of La Dépêche du Midi , Yannick Larguet, former player of Colomiers and Agen, says that before taking a big "punch in the jaw", he was allegedly provoked and then watered with racist insults by the stadist who had just crossed the street. The 39-year-old father said he had filed a complaint Monday for "violence without disability on the grounds of race".

Bastien Chalureau denies any racist aggression
