PARIS (Reuters) - A French court on Tuesday handed rugby international Mohamed Haouas a one-year prison sentence, AFP and L'Equipe reported, after a fast-track trial for alleged domestic violence.
Haouas, who plays as a prop for the Montpellier team in southern France, had been in police custody since Friday. Sports paper L'Equipe reported the court had chosen a so-called adjustable sentence, allowing the player to effectively stay out of prison.
