France's World Cup-winning captain Hugo Lloris has been charged with drink-driving after the Tottenham keeper was stopped by police in the early hours of Friday morning.
Just weeks after playing a key role in France's World Cup glory, Lloris's reputation has been tarnished by his late-night antics.
Lloris was pulled over in a routine stop at 2:20 am (0120 GMT) in Gloucester Place, central London.
The 31-year-old was reported to have failed a roadside breathalyser test and has been released on bail to appear at Westminster magistrates' court next month.
After spending seven hours in a cell, Lloris, a married father of two, returned home on foot and refused to answer questions from reporters.
"A man has been charged following a routine patrol stop in Gloucester Place, W1," a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told AFP.
"Hugo Lloris, 31, of East Finchley, was charged with drink driving on Friday, 24 August.
"He has been bailed to return to Westminster magistrates' court on Tuesday, 11 September."
