Tom Williams (rugby player, born 1983) member of the “200 Club” having represented Harlequins for over 200 1st games.

This resulted in a 12-month ban for Williams, (reduced to four months on appeal), a three-year ban for former director of rugby Dean Richards as well as a two-year ban for physiotherapist Steph Brennan from the ERC with a £260,000 fine for the club. Tom remains the only one to apologise for this
