The club takes this event very seriously and immediately took the necessary measures: an internal investigation is underway to establish the facts with precision. / Total cooperation is ensured with the competent authorities / appropriate sanctions will be taken according to the conclusions of the survey. The Olympic Biarritz recalls its attachment to the values of respect and exemplarity, both in the field and outside. Out of respect for the people concerned and the smooth running of the procedure, we will make no other comment at this stage. »»
