Anthony Watts, a rugby player for Australia's Gold Coast Rugby League, is under investigation after an opponent accused him of biting the victim's penis in a brawl during the Bycroft Cup preliminary final on Sunday.
An opposing player reportedly pulled down his shorts and alerted officials on the field after the alleged attack.
In a statement released by his attorney Monday, Watts "absolutely [denied] that any biting of any nature has taken place… [but apologized] if there has been any contact made to that particular area of this gentleman's body."
Watts received a one-game suspension on Tuesday for an illegal hit.
According to GoldCoast.com.au, Watts has been been investigated for inciting brawls before. In June, he allegedly threw a head butt after a game that sparked a brawl between rival biker gangs.
Rugby league is a full-contact sport that's renowned for its lack of protective gear, and has had its share of infamously dirty plays. The Courier-Mail's roundup of the worst moments in rugby league includes broken jaws, biting, butt-probing and even on-field urination.
