Toulon salary cap breach confirmed

The President of the Ligue Nationale du Rugby, Paul Goze, confirmed yesterday that two clubs were in breach of Salary cap rules during the 2013-14 season.
Since then Toulon owner, Mourad Boudjellal, had admitted that Toulon is one of these clubs responsible.
It appears that the breach is not as serious as could be assumed and is instead €3,000 euros over the permitted amount for potential contracted players. Boudjellal has claimed that the supposed breach was minor and any sanction will be opposed by Toulon.
Here is what Boudjellal had to say, ''This is purely anecdotal. I signed three contracts hopefuls to 51 000 each while the ceiling for these amounts are not counted in the salary-cap is set at 50,000 euros. It is clear that if there are sanctions, we will appeal the decision." ***
