An Australian netballer has been given a two-week suspended sentence after she made contact - Hopoate-style - with another player.
The Victoria district league player allegedly stuck her finger up an opponent's skirt several times and made inappropriate contact with her behind and crotch area, the Warrnambool Standard reported.
The paper said the South West District Football Netball League has refused to name any of the parties involved in the July 2 incident.
Both clubs also refused to discuss details about the case with the Standard, having been told by the league not to discuss the incident with the media.
The accused player has denied the allegations, but was last week found guilty of a gross breach of code of behaviour and handed a two-week suspended sentence.
In 2001 league player John Hopoate was suspended for 12 matches after he inserted his finger in three opponents' anuses.
