This bloke is Nikolas Bendtner a high profile footballer
from Denmark.
He’s played for Arsenal and Juventus so he’s no slug.
Until yesterday he was playing for the Danish team, capped
55 times.
But he is now banned from being selected for at least six
months after being charged with drink-driving in Copenhagen.
He was only just over the limit by the way.
If he is proven guilty of D.I.C he’ll also face being fined
by the Danish Football Association (DBU) on top of any court fines, bans.
“DBU respects every player's right to a private life, but we
still have some rules and expectations about how players on the national team
behave in public.”
Let me re-state what the Danish Football Association said
because it’s kind of foreign to New Zealanders, totally incongruous concept to absorb
for rugby folk.
“We respect every player's right to a private life, but we
still have some rules and expectations about how players on the national team
behave in public.”
