Oui Oui says Ribery and French company

I am willing to be Franck Ribery and Sidney Govou - two French star players - are fans big fans of the Red Light District. One look at the guy and I mean you have to know the only way he is getting broads is by paying them boat loads of money.

Apparently Ribery and Govou were both recently called into questioning as witnesses for a sex scandal case involving the Paris nightclub Cafe Zaman and its apparent servicing of under-age prostitutes to Les Bleus players - that's French national team for those that don't know the nick name.

One unnamed player admitted to having sex with an under-age prostitute at the club, although he said at the time he did not know the girl's age, and a pimp that supposedly provided girls at the club was arrested.

Unfortunately France does not have the same open laws to allow its journalists to exploit some of these potentially explosive stories. But where there is smoke there is fire, and I am willing to bet some more juicy details are just lurking around the corner. The player that admitted to having sex with the underage girls may face a 3-year prison sentence, and if more players are found to have participated in these acts, they could be in for some serious trouble as well.

For now the French Footballing Federation is staying behind its players simply stating:

"The French Football association have learnt about the prostitution scandal which implicates simply as witnesses at this stage some footballers from the France team. In this context the FFF would like to make the following remarks:

"The FFF would like to highlight their commitment to the principle of the presumption of innocence. The Federation has every confidence in the justice system to carry the investigation through and identify those possibly responsible.

"Not having access to the case, the Federation will abstain from any comment until the courts have given their conclusions, all the while remaining aware of the development of the proceedings and of their consequences.''

While the FFF may be standing behind its players, Lyon and Bayern Munich certainly can't be happy that the details of this investigation are emerging just a day before the first leg of their epic meeting in the Champions League semifinal in Germany. Should be an interesting story to follow for the next few weeks especially as the World Cup nears.
