Yaya Toure has issued the following statement:

“Over the last two weeks there has been some confusion as to why I was charged with drink driving, as it is well known that I am a Muslim and do not drink.

“I have always refused alcohol. Anyone who knows me or follows football will have seen me refuse champagne for Man of the Match performances because of my commitment to my religion.

“The matter has now been resolved in court on Monday. As I was above the permitted limit when tested on the night, I decided not to challenge the charge. However, it was important to me that I told the court that I had not intentionally consumed alcohol. The judge in his sentencing remarks accepted that I had not been intentionally drinking.

“Drink driving is a serious crime and even though I was not intentionally consuming alcohol I accept the ban and fine and I would like to apologise for this situation. I would also like to thank my family, the management and staff at Manchester City, my legal team and the fans for the support they have given me during this difficult time.”


lollollollol

Accidentally drink driving lads.

That is amazing!
 

I don't think drinking defines whether you're a Muslim or not. It's a behaviour associated with it. drink driving defines you as a tit though. Islam states dont get intoxicated (missus is a muslamic, but no Ray guns). size of him, theres no way he's accidentally drunk enough to put him over the limit. if this was Muhammed Bloggs, he'd of been banned.

Lovely turn of phrase!

Not by a smidge either, more than twice over the legal limit.

What next "sorry officer, someone gave me this cigarette, I thought it just a normal one even though it smelled a bit different. "
