Photographs of the wound inflicted by Chris Ashtons teeth formed part of the evidence used to suspend the England wing for 13 weeks, the disciplinary hearings written judgement has revealed.Saracens are considering whether to appeal and have 24 hours, concluding late on Friday afternoon, to respond but would do so knowing Ashtons account of events was deemed implausible by the three-man panel that issued their verdict on Tuesday.Taken into account by the Rugby Football Union hearing were pictures taken by one of Northamptons physiotherapists that showed bite marks on the arm of Alex Waller, the Saints prop who became entangled with Ashton at Allianz Park last Saturday.The evidence was described as helpful to the panel and the testimony of physiotherapist Nathan Allwork revealed that the pictures were taken with the permission of referee Greg Garner.I ran to Alex Waller who had taken a knee [sic]. Alex said, Ive been bitten on my arm. There were obvious bite marks on Alexs forearm/wrist, Allwork said.The referee appears to see what is happening, I explain to him that he had been bitten and the referee nodded his head.?Our second physio, Matt Lee, arrived and began to strap and dressed his forearm.Matt suggests taking a photo and the reeferee said that there is clear evidence of the bite.ddddddddddddHe said that Alex was clearly injured and would give us the time.Waller can be heard on audio footage saying Ashton bit me twice ... it didnt hurt too much but its out of order after feeling a bite on his arm in the 24th minute while attempting to clear his opponent from a ruck.Ashton claimed he had not bitten 100 percent, insisting Wallers arm had become lodged in his open mouth, that he twisted his head away to remove the arm and did not clamp his teeth down on the limb.The panel felt the only question was if Wallers wound had been caused by the pressure of arm to teeth or by a bite and while they viewed the Northampton loosehead props testimony as consistent and compelling, they found Ashtons account very much less plausible.Once it had been decided the level of offence was low end, with a guideline ban of 12 weeks, an extra week was added due to Ashtons previous two suspensions for hair pulling and making contact with eyes.Efforts by Saracens to have the sanction reduced due to his good character and conduct at the hearing were dismissed.
