At Blues training today coach Sir John Kirwan was asked if Li would face any action from the franchise.
"It was done in house. We stood him down against the Hurricanes [on May 31]. We see it as a minor misdemeanour but we stood him down and now we're just going to let the courts take their course," Kirwan said.
"He's pretty disappointed in himself."
The Blues did not respond to requests for further comment.
Li rose to prominence at 16, when he created mayhem for his Massey High School team against Westlake Boys in a high-profile 1st XV clash.
After just one match for the Massey Club, the young wing was offered a full-time contract with Super 15 champions the Chiefs.
But he decided to wait until his home-town team came calling, and made his Blues debut against France last year before impressing for the national under-20 team at the just completed Junior World Cup.
