Axelle Berthoumieu apologized publicly for biting Aoife Wafer during France's World Cup quarter-final win in Exeter on Sunday. She was not penalised during the match for the incident. A disciplinary hearing initially imposed a 12-match ban that would have sidelined her until March. Berthoumieu appealed the ruling and the suspension was reduced to nine games. The reduction shortens the length of enforced absence and allows an earlier return to play. The decision affects availability planning for the national team.
