Italian prop Martin Castrogiovanni has been suspended by his club after he was pictured in Las Vegas.

The 34-year-old told Racing 92 he couldn't play in Monday's (NZT) Champions Cup semi-final against Leicester as he had to attend to a family matter in Argentina.

But Castrogiovanni was pictured in Sin City socialising with members of French football club Paris St-Germain.

In a statement, the French club  said the suspension is a "precautionary measure prior to launching legal proceedings".

In Castrogiovanni's absence, the Parisian side beat Leicester 19-16 thanks to the kicking of Dan Carter and will meet Saracens in the final.
