Former French international Djibril Camara has been summoned over ‘serious misconduct’ by Stade Francais.

It is not clear however what the alleged misconduct is.

Whatever the allegations against him, the winger is facing having his contract with the Top 14 side torn up.

Camara has had a less than perfect relationship with head coach Heyneke Meyer, and it is understood the club are eager to have taken off their books early.

Camara is a darling of Stade fans, having been with the club for 12 years, which he joined at the age of 18.

Stade Francais released the following statement on their website:

“Articles in the press and social networks on Monday, May 27 indicate that Djibril Camara was dismissed for serious misconduct.

“Stade Français Paris wants to rectify this erroneous information.

“Djibril Camara was summoned by the Management of the Club concerning a possible early termination of his contract for serious misconduct. No decision has been made so far, and only after hearing the player will a decision be made by the Club in accordance with the law.”

Nations Championship: 'The data shows the north has finally caught up with the south'

Fact: the gap between the North and the South has narrowed considerably - that I get. However, determining that only selecting only Home grown players or playing in the home country is is the optimal strategy is a bit of a toss up and highly reliant on the economies of the home union. I do understand that England and to a lesser degree Ireland selects home based only. The top 14 is a massive threat to their domestic product. France would probably not be affected (the money is at home). Fiji, Argentina, Samoa, Italy and you could even argue Scotland have only benefitted from this. Their players either go overseas to learn at higher levels (Fiji, Samoa, Argentina) or players coming into their leagues to strengthen the home product and their National teams (Scotland, Italy, Japan).

South Africa used to limit its selection to the home based players, but the reality of a weak currency vs what players could earn oversees meant that you lost access to your best players at some stage of their careers, with very few exceptions. Kolbe left SA as he was considered too small for International Rugby (yes coaches/selectors view), but ironically in France he forced selectors to notice his endeavors and select him. He is only reaching 50 caps now despite being north of 30 - granted rotation and the odd injury also played a role, but for the most part it is having debuted or becoming a regular so late.
