Hugo Lloris, Tottenham goalkeeper has been charged with drunk driving after failing a breathalyser test at 2.30am in central London.
The World Cup-winning captain was held in jail for seven hours in the early hours of Friday morning after a night of celebration with fellow France team-mates Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny. The 31-year-old father of two was taken to Charing Cross police station where he was put in a cell after fingerprints and a DNA swab were taken. Lloris and his French team-mates had enjoyed an evening of celebration at Bagatelle, a French and Mediterranean restaurant in Mayfair. Giroud won the World Cup with Lloris this summer but Koscielny missed out due to injury.
The goalkeeper was pictured grinning in a group photo at the high end restaurant in Dover Street before he drove home under the influence. Bagatelle opened in London this May and the house pizza costs an eye-watering £34 with the sea-food platter setting customers back £450. Lloris was pulled over 1.5 miles into his journey home from the establishment and the Metropolitan Police said: ‘A man has been charged following a routine patrol stop in Gloucester Place, W1.
