CIAN Healy was forced to pull out of the British and Irish Lions' rugby tour of Australia due to an ankle injury yesterday, hours after being cleared of biting at a hearing in Brisbane.
The Irish prop damaged ankle ligaments in Wednesday's victory over Western Force in Perth and the Lions said they expected him to be sidelined for the duration of the tour. Earlier, Healy escaped a lengthy ban after being cleared of biting Force scrum-half Brett Sheehan in the Lions' opening tour match. Sheehan claimed he had been bitten during a 17th-minute maul and Healy was cited under a law relating to good sportsmanship. After a 2-1/2-hour hearing, judicial officer Nigel Hampton found insufficient evidence to support the allegations.
