The Harlequins rugby club have escaped a ban from the lucrative European Cup despite the fake blood scandal that has seen the English Premiership club hit with a massive fine and former rugby director Dean Richards banned for three years.
But the European Cup's organisers have warned there could be further action against individuals at Harlequins when they meet again next week.
Dean Richards, a former England number eight, has been identified as the central figure in the blood cheating scandal, in which winger Tom Williams faked a blood injury to allow a substitution to be made in last April's European Cup quarter-final against Leinster.
