Cheltenham Festival Cancels Bookings Over Poor Behavior By Footballers

Cheltenham Festival "cancelled a booking from a sports management company after footballers were pictured apparently urinating into a glass," according to the BBC. League Championship side MK Dons midfielder Samir Carruthers was photographed "apparently relieving himself on a balcony at the racecourse." MK Dons and League Two side Northampton Town both said that they "were investigating Tuesday's incident." A racecourse spokesperson said that the group "had been booked in for the race meeting by a sports management company." The spokesperson also said that the company's booking for the second day of racing, on Wednesday, "had now been cancelled." It is "not known whether the same group was due to attend" (BBC, 3/16).
