Typical south french character
His time as a leader of TRUC has been "colorfull", due to the sometimes impetuous behaviour of quite a lot of
people in southern France. This may especially lead any of them to excessive reactions, for example a
particularly clear imaged vocabulary, which may offend any politically correct and civilzed citizen of any nation,
independently from any consideration for intercultural awareness.
Most notably, he was sentenced to 130-days ban from Top 14 organizer LNR for the following "imaged" outburst
after Toulon lost a match against Clermont-Ferrand on January 2012:[6]

« I had my first referee sodomy against Clermont in the semi-finals in 2010. I've just had my second
tonight. It's supposed to hurt the first time but it hurts again this time. The images ought to be on
YouPorn instead of YouTube. »[7]
