Dupont saw its licence revoked by the College of chiropodists of Ontario in addition to receiving a fine of $ 30,000. The victims have filed a class action.

After that his licence had been revoked by the Order of dentists of Quebec, in 2004, he returned to school in 2006 to study in podiatry at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières.

As he had concealed his past as a dentist, he has been suspended from the program for a period of 24 months. He finally got his diploma in 2010.

The College of chiropodists of Quebec has issued him a license to practice in June 2011 after that the professions Tribunal was given reason to Pierre Dupont and has ordered that a licence to practise medicine podiatry it is awarded.
