Role models? You are having a laugh

Last updated : 16 March 2016 By The Editor's Chair

Cheltenham Racecourse authorities have cancelled the booking of a group of footballers, after pictures alleging to show one of the players relieving himself into a beer glass on the first day of the Cheltenham Festival were published.

MK Dons midfielder Samir Carruthers has clearly been caught on camera by a Daily Mail photographer whilst relieving himself on a balcony, surrounded by fellow racegoers.

The photographs which have now gone viral, clearly show the nattily attired Carruthers urinating into a beer glass. Another member of the "party" is then seen slinging the contents of the beer glass over other unfortunate racegoers located on the terrace below.

Quote of the day (16.03.2016), "I don't want to be known as the idiot who urinated in beer glass," said the idiot who will forever be known as the footballing idiot who urinated in beer glass.

 Why do we hold up professional footballers to be role models?

Please discuss.
