Masivesi Dakuwaqa Suspended for Alleged Attack on Teammate

Former Fiji 7s player and Rio Olympic Gold Medalist Masivesi Dakuwaqa has been suspended from Biarritz Olympique in France for allegedly attacking and biting a teammate, causing a wound that required 20 stitches.

The incident occurred during a night out, reportedly starting from a money dispute.

Dakuwaqa admitted to the biting but claimed he doesn't remember the events of that night.

Biarritz Olympique has launched an internal investigation and is cooperating with authorities.

Dakuwaqa is set to appear in court in May 2025.

The club has promised appropriate sanctions based on the investigation's findings.
