Fiji Rugby has announced the suspension of star prop Mesake Doge, citing a breach of team conduct and disciplinary concerns. The decision, which comes just weeks before crucial international matches, has sent shockwaves through the Fijian rugby community and raised questions about the specifics behind the suspension.
While the official statement from Fiji Rugby has remained vague, sources suggest that Doge’s suspension is related to an off-field incident that violated the team’s code of conduct. The 30-year-old, known for his powerful scrummaging and leadership on the field, has yet to comment publicly on the suspension.
Fiji Rugby’s spokesperson said in a brief statement: “Mesake Doge has been suspended indefinitely due to a breach of team rules. The organization holds its players to the highest standards, both on and off the field, and disciplinary actions are taken when these standards are not met.”
Doge’s suspension is a significant blow to the Fijian side, as they prepare for upcoming international fixtures. Fans have expressed their disappointment but remain hopeful that the issue will be resolved swiftly, allowing Doge to rejoin the squad.
As the details of the incident remain unclear, Fiji Rugby has assured the public that an internal investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided in due course.
