According to an indiscretion of our colleagues at RTL on Tuesday, who were able to have access to the conclusions of the report commissioned by the Minister of Sports Roxana Maracineanu, the coach of the XV of France Christophe Galthié was absolved of the wrongs with which he was accused.

Suspected of having violated the health rules specific to the bubble created around the France group by going to see his son play at the Jean-Bouin stadium on his return from the trip to Italy, the former international was in his right according to Roger Salamon, the former president of the High Council of Public Health which heads the medical commission of the Federation.

Patient 0 would come from rugby sevens

"In my report, I put it at the beginning, it is perfectly clear that what he did, whatever one might think, he had the right to do it and there was no particular risk," he explains. -he.

And besides, he is not patient 0, that is virologically evident from the distance at which he went to see his son and from the distance at which there were first cases (...) I do not don't say that to defend him, he doesn't need to be defended, but I'm saying that because it's the truth ”.

Also according to this internal investigation, the famous patient 0 has been identified and it would therefore be a player from the French rugby team 7 who came to do the number for training in Marcoussis.

Tested negative when it entered the bubble, it was in fact in the incubation period.

Nothing to do with the thesis of the unknown physical trainer first defended by Serge Simon, the covid manager of the federation.

For the moment, we do not know more about the many other breaches of protocol revealed by

L'Equipe

in recent days and we will have to wait for the submission of the report to the Ministry of Sports on Wednesday to be able to delve into it in detail.
