Saracens to Deal with Billy Vunipola Incident Internally after Mallorca Arrest
Saracens Star Billy Vunipola Tasered and Arrested in Mallorca
In a shocking turn of events, Saracens rugby player Billy Vunipola was reportedly tasered and arrested following an incident in Mallorca. The 31-year-old has won 75 England caps and is a key player for both his club and country.
Reports surfaced on Monday morning claiming that Vunipola was tasered twice by police after an incident at a bar in Palma, Mallorca’s capital, in the early hours of Sunday morning. Vunipola has since confirmed that he was fined 240 euros (£205) and charged with resisting the law.
Saracens have launched an internal investigation into the matter and Vunipola has stated that he will be returning to the UK on Monday. In a statement released by the club, Vunipola clarified that there was no violence or threat involved in the incident, and he apologized for any inconvenience caused.
The incident has raised concerns about Vunipola’s future with Saracens, as he is expected to leave the club at the end of the season. He has been linked with a move to France, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
Vunipola, who made his Test debut for England in 2013, is not currently part of the national squad. He recently appeared as a substitute for Saracens in their victory over Bath and is a key player in their pursuit of a sixth league title in the last 10 seasons.
As the investigation continues, Saracens have stated that they will deal with the matter internally and refrain from making further comments until then. The rugby world will be watching closely as this story unfolds.
