PARIS - The chief executive of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, Claude Atcher, was removed from his position on Tuesday by tournament organisers after he was suspended in August by France's sports minister due to "alarming managerial practices".
Atcher's suspension was ratified by the French Rugby Federation, French Olympic officials and the French government following a meeting of the 2023 tournament organising committee's board of directors on Monday. Atcher's suspension was prompted by the preliminary findings of a Labour Inspectorate investigation which was launched at the end of June after an article in sports daily L'Equipe accused him of "management by terror".
