Cases

GMC V Wendy Chapman

This case arose from the deliberate cutting of a rugby player by his club doctor during a European Cup semi final. It became known as the “Bloodgate” case due to the player involved biting on a theatrical blood capsule to allow him to be substituted towards the end of the match.
