According to RugbyPass "The last occasion EPCR heard a similar misconduct case, Scarlets were fined €10,000 – a punishment suspended for two years – and the result of their match – a 14-64 Januaruy 2016 pool stage defeat to Racing – was allowed to stand." so [sadly] looks like they won't get dumped outOr they may get the same treatment we got in 2004?

in 2016 "Wing Jacob Cowley featured on the bench for the West Wales outfit but did not come on the field of play during the 64-14 defeat " so the Saracens case might be seen as worse as the player came off the bench.According to RugbyPass "The last occasion EPCR heard a similar misconduct case, Scarlets were fined €10,000 – a punishment suspended for two years – and the result of their match – a 14-64 Januaruy 2016 pool stage defeat to Racing – was allowed to stand." so [sadly] looks like they won't get dumped outOr they may get the same treatment we got in 2004?

Long term cheats cheat again and get away with it.50k euro fine. Half that suspended. Zero points deduction.
You'd have thought they might pay a bit more attention all things considered.
Do Saracens gain an advantage by not renewing someone's work permit?
Do Saracens gain an advantage by not renewing someone's work permit?
Do Saracens gain an advantage by playing a player that is not eligible to play?
I don't believe for a second that no one noticed his work permit had expired,
Why does his work permit (visa) come up for renewal mid-season?
I have been as critical of Sarries as anyone but I am prepered to believe this was a genuine admin error. The visa was in place when they selected their team and only expired the day before the game as I understand it. I am prepared to believe the player had forgotten about his visa expiry. I have a Blue Badge and it expired without me knowing because of my own admin error. These things do happen innocently, unlike their premiership transgressions.

Good for them. Hard to disagree.
The Google translation is great. I hope the real translation has the same meaning and emphasis.
It is the 11 days delay that seems (to me) odd. One could be forgiven for thinking that perhaps Saracens hung on to make it less likely they would get ejected because of the disruption it would cause as tickets were on sale and arrangements being made by clubs and fans. Whilst, of course, I doubt that is the case for a club for whom "Integrity etc." are watch-words.
