Paris, August 28 – Former French rugby star Bastien Chalureau has sparked widespread outrage after a video of him lifting a woman’s skirt at a public event went viral on social media.
The incident, captured during a fan gathering, shows the ex-international player approaching a woman and pulling up her skirt without consent, prompting immediate criticism. The footage has drawn strong condemnation from fans, women’s rights groups, and public figures, who called the act “shameful” and “deeply disrespectful.”
French sports authorities are also reviewing the matter, with calls for stricter codes of conduct for athletes, even after retirement. Social media users have demanded accountability, saying public figures must uphold standards of behavior both on and off the field.
The controversy adds to growing debates in France over athletes’ responsibility and gender respect in sports culture.
