US EditionUS Women's Rugby Star, Olympian Alev Kelter Sent Off for Stamping on the Head of an Opponent
- During the match against Australia in Sydney on Saturday, United States rugby player Alev Kelter was shown a direct red card late in the game following an incident reviewed by the referee.
- The red card followed referee Aimee Barrett-Theron's review of footage showing Kelter forcefully stamping on Australian center Georgie Friedrichs' head, who was not seriously injured.
- Rugby rules have recently changed to address head contact risks, treating such fouls with high severity, and United States coach Sione Fukofuka apologized to the Australian players.
- Barrett-Theron described Kelter's action as "thuggery," "deliberate," and "very dangerous foul play," declaring she will receive a permanent red card due to the reckless nature of the incident.
- Kelter, a three-time US Olympic rugby sevens player who earned a bronze medal in Paris last year, has been sent off and will undergo a disciplinary review that could lead to a substantial suspension following Australia’s 27-19 victory.
