Sanction:  Penalty Pass and the player is cautioned.  If the action is considered to be serious the player is given an official warning or suspended.

Scenario – Blue WD contacts the Yellow C and the umpire awards a penalty pass.  At the same time the Yellow C retaliates by shrugging of the Blue WD as a result of the contact.
