Leamy cited as O'Driscoll is cleared

<BR>Citing commissioner bides time on biting incident
<BR>Ireland No.8 Denis Leamy has been cited following an alleged stamping incident during his country's 26-16 victory over Italy on Saturday. Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll, who was also fingered by the Italians for allegedly stamping on two players, has been cleared of foul play.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR> O'Driscoll was tipped to be cited after Italy coach Pierre Berbizier accused him of stamping, but match commissioner Rob Flockhart did not include such an event in his report.
<BR>
<BR>The Italians were angered by the alleged stamp by O'Driscoll on hooker Fabio Ongaro and later on centre Micro Bergamasco, but the Ireland skipper insisted he was only clearing out a ruck.
<BR>
<BR>Leamy, however, was reported by Flockhart for an alleged stamping incident on Italy scrum-half Paul Griffen, and the 24-year-old will have a hearing on Wednesday in London to determine whether he will face punishment.
<BR>
<BR>Flockhart will take additional time to decide whether there is a case against an Italian player for an alleged biting incident on Simon Easterby. The identity of the Italian player has not been made public.
