Football Scandals/Controversy 2

John Terry_s captaincy of the English football team was stripped from him in 2010 when news of an affair with a team mate_s wife made national news. For a while, it seemed David Beckham was embroiled in controversy wherever he went, due to stories of infidelity, but the unproven allegations have so far not destroyed his marriage. Christiano Ronaldo_s predilection for prostitutes and strippers has gotten him in trouble numerous times, with both his club, Real Madrid, and his girlfriend! But not all scandals are caused by dalliances with the opposite sex – Man U star Rio Ferdinand was convicted in 2003 of failing to take a drug test. He was banned for eight months and fined 50,000 pounds.
