Two Ireland rugby union internationals are to face prosecution in relation to rape charges following an alleged attack in Belfast in June last year.
Ulster players Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding strenuously deny doing anything wrong.
The Irish Rugby Football Union and their club say they take the allegations "extremely seriously" - and neither of them will play until the case is over.
They're due in court next month.
The IRFU and Ulster Rugby released the following statement:
The IRFU and Ulster Rugby are aware that Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding have been charged by the PSNI in relation to serious allegations made against them.
The players have cooperated fully and strenuously deny the charges.
The IRFU and Ulster Rugby take these allegations extremely seriously.
To allow the players time to address this matter fully, the IRFU and Ulster Rugby have agreed that they will be relieved of their duties and obligations until the conclusion of this process. Appropriate support structures will be put in place with them during this time.
As this is a matter for the Public Prosecution Service it would be inappropriate to comment further.
