(CNN)Australia’s rugby union authorities have issued Israel Folau with a code of conduct breach notice over his controversial social media post which said “hell awaits” gay people.
In a statement issued Monday, Rugby Australia said the player had “committed a high-level breach of the Professional Players’ Code of Conduct warranting termination of his employment contract.”
The 30-year-old has 48 hours to accept the sanction or face a code of conduct hearing.
