[Saba Sports News] Recently, England
international Jesse Lingard found himself in a situation where he was
discovered to have alcohol during a routine inspection while driving. The
authorities determined that Lingard was driving under the influence, and
although his test results were within the local legal limit, he was still fined
and received an 18-month driving ban. Lingard has since taken to social media
to issue an apology regarding the incident. He acknowledged his mistake,
accepted the court’s judgment and the accompanying punishment. Lingard also
provided an explanation for his actions, stating that he had initially planned
to go home after dinner but was persuaded by a friend to have a drink.
Unfortunately, he made the poor decision to drive home afterwards, driven by a
false sense of confidence.
