Cheltenham urine row: Samir Carruthers and James Collins apologise
Two footballers have apologised after they were both photographed apparently urinating into a glass at Cheltenham Festival. MK Dons midfielder Samir Carruthers and Northampton Town's on-loan striker James Collins appeared to relieve themselves on a racecourse balcony. Collins said it "emphasised the negative stereotype of the modern footballer".
Carruthers told Sky Sports News "I've let everyone down. "I'm meant to be a role model and I have to live by my actions now. "I've let the community down and I've let Milton Keynes down and I have to take the criticism that comes with it. "It was a silly mistake."
He added he had been disciplined by the club following a meeting with chairman Pete Winkelman
