Tyson Keats made a number of appearances for Welsh without holding the correct registration.
Former London Welsh team manager Mike Scott has received a lifetime ban from any involvement in rugby union after the club fielded an ineligible player in the Aviva Premiership.
Scrum-half Tyson Keats made 10 appearances for Welsh in the league without holding the requisite registration and the Rugby Football Union handed out severe punishment at a misconduct hearing.
Scott had been charged under RFU Rule 5.12 with "conduct prejudicial to the
interests of the Union or the Game" for providing false and misleading
information to the governing body over the registration of Keats.
London Welsh had already received a five-point deduction from their Aviva Premiership tally and a £15,000 fine as a result, although the club have confirmed they will appeal the decision.
An RFU statement read: "Mike Scott was today suspended from the management, coaching or playing of rugby union and membership of any club for life following an RFU Misconduct Hearing.
"The former London Welsh team manager may not apply for the order to be lifted for 10 years."
London Welsh, who now sit bottom of the Aviva Premiership two points behind
Sale Sharks, also had a further five-point deduction suspended until the end of
next season.
Scott has 14 days to appeal the judgement after accepting the allegation against him and submitting a written plea of mitigation. Source : http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12331/8550434/Former-London-Welsh-team-manager-Mike-Scott-banned-for-life-from-rugby-union
