Rugby star Foden arrested over taxi ruck


England full-back Ben Foden was arrested after an altercation with a London taxi driver, it was confirmed Tuesday. Foden, 25, was detained on suspicion of causing criminal damage following his arrest in the early hours of Monday morning, police confirmed. The Northampton player was released on bail on Monday afternoon after spending the night behind bars following the incident along with a friend.

Foden, who has become England's first choice full-back since making his full debut during last season's Six Nations, had been out on the town celebrating Northampton's 39-3 Premiership victory over Wasps on Sunday. The Rugby Football Union said it would await the outcome of the investigation before deciding if further disciplinary action against Foden would be taken.

"We are aware of the allegations but at the current time this is a matter for the player and his club and we are working with them to understand the facts of the situation," an RFU spokesman said. "We will wait to see the outcome of any police investigation before deciding if further action is required."

Northampton meanwhile said the club would co-operate with "all relevant authorities" in the investigation. "Northampton Saints takes any such allegations very seriously and is conducting its own investigation to ascertain all the facts of the alleged incident," the club said.

"The club is working with Ben Foden and his representatives, the Rugby Football Union and Premiership Rugby and will continue to do so during the investigation process. "Both Northampton Saints and Ben Foden will also continue to co-operate with all the relevant authorities."

Pillock gets a caution which I hope it's a conditional caution, thus ensuring the driver get the money to pay for the damage.

the teletext report said he was cautioned for theft not criminal damage I'm assuming that is wrong because if it is the driver isn't going to get the damage paid for

If I was a betting man I would say that the driver has been paid privately, so to speak, for the damage and the loss of fare.

Be interested to see if any of the London lads confirm that.
