The French national football team is going through some tough times recently, and now less than two months before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa kicks off, allegations of a sex scandal could make things even worse for the tricolor. According to information leaked by French media, two players of the football team were questioned by the police regarding a case of prostitution involving under age girls. The identity of the two players remains hidden, at least for now, and the police officials also said that one of them actually slept with the young prostitute but he denies knowing the girl was under 18 years old.
All these took place in a famous Paris night club where many members of the French football team are usually hanging out when visiting the capital city. L’Equipe says there is another French national involved that did not yet testify, but will be called by the authorities later this week. Two of the accused players are working abroad, while the third one is playing locally for a team in the French Ligue 1.
The president of the French Football Federation Mr. Jean-Pierre Escalettes said that “There is no official reaction regarding this matter. The investigation is in progress and I don’t have all the information yet. I cannot make any comments right this moment.”
