Car shame for Lloris
behind the wheel. He was so drunk he had to be helped from his car, his speech was slurred and was unable to stand up properly.
He had run a red light, veered his car “towards parked vehicles” and the police officers who stopped him found vomit inside his Porsche.
Spurs must now decide whether he retains the armband long term or whether his actions warrant a change of captain.
His club fine was six times the £50,000 he received from the court, which also banned him from driving for 20 months.
WORLD Cup-winning goalie Hugo Lloris yesterday admitted drink-driving at more than twice the legal limit.
The Spurs and France captain, 31, was banned for 20 months and fined £50,000 – less than half his £120,000 weekly salary. Lloris was spotted in Central London “veering” his Porsche Panamera and doing 15mph in a 30mph zone early on August 24.
Police found vomit in the vehicle, which was carrying an unnamed passenger, Westminster magistrates court was told.
Lloris, of East Finchley, North London, had to be helped from the car and gave a sample of 80mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The limit is 35mcg.
Magistrate Amanda Barron told the Premier League star: “It was pure luck that you did not cause damage to other vehicles or pedestrians.”
Defence counsel David Sonn said Lloris had been dining out but a taxi cancelled, prompting him to drive.
