MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Gold Coast Titans captain Kevin Proctor has been banned for four games for biting New Zealand international team mate and friend Shaun Johnson on the arm during a match in Australia's National Rugby League.

Proctor, who was sent off for the incident during the match against the Cronulla Sharks over the weekend, pleaded not guilty to the biting charge at a judicial hearing late on Tuesday.
