Yaya Touré admits to drink-driving but denies intentionally consuming alcohol
Yaya Touré has apologised to Manchester City supporters after admitting drink-driving, but insisted he had not intentionally consumed alcohol.
The Ivory Coast international said on Tuesday he had admitted the charge at a Monday court hearing after being arrested in Dagenham, east London, on 28 November.
In a statement released on his website Touré said he wanted to explain why, as a Muslim who does not drink, he had not contested the charge. He said: 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.
