Diouf arrested over wife-beating claims

Bolton striker El Hadji Diouf has been arrested over allegations that he beat up his wife at their home. The 25-year-old Senegal international was held by police following reports of an assault in the early hours of Sunday November 5.

It was reported that the Premiership striker's wife, Valerie, called the police after it was said she suffered a cut lip. A Greater Manchester police spokesman said: "Police were called to an address in Bolton at 6.45am on November 5 following reports of an assault. Officers arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of committing assault. He has since been bailed pending further inquiries to appear at a police station tomorrow

Diouf played in Bolton's 1-0 Premiership defeat by Wigan at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday. The former African footballer of the year has been a controversial figure since joining Liverpool from French club Lens in a £10m deal in 2002.

He has twice appeared in court following incidents of spitting. In September 2003 he was fined £5,000 at Glasgow's Sheriff Court for spitting on a Celtic supporter during a Uefa Cup quarter-final with Liverpool. Last November, he pleaded guilty to reckless behaviour at Teesside magistrates court when an 11-year-old fan claimed he had been hit by juice the player had spat from his mouth in a match at Middlesbrough's ground.

Diouf, who reportedly earns £40,000 a week, claimed legal aid to fight the case and was fined £500 and ordered to pay £500 costs.

Always knew he had it in him. Nasty little bastard. Should be chemically castrated.

shame, he's a good player but a right twat

The least surprised I've ever been.

Put the fucker in jail, whether he did it or not.

Good to see the jury system is still sound...


To be honest, this is what most people will think when they hear the news.

I despise him, he's scum. Spat on some kid when he came to the Riverside aswell.

You know that bad guy in Robocop, after he drives into that acid and is disolving, that is the kind of justice i wish upon Diouf

he's just got a disgraceful attitude, Gerrard says in his book he was oneof the lazyest players he's ever seen in training

I saw the title Bolton star quizzed over assault on the front page of the BBC and immediately thought "what the fuck has Dioufy done this time"?

Hopefully it will all turn out to be bollocks as he's playing extremely well at the minute.

anyone notice it was "allegations" of wife beating?
lots of players get accused of doing things that often turn out ot be bollocks so lets see what happens before condemming him. although he does have an awful attitude

Well if stevie says it...

Agree with Keano is God although whilst Van Persie may have an immature streak in him, Diouf is really on a totally different level so id be far less suprised if this was true.

Wife-beating is a heinous crime, but you lot don't know what you're talking about - you're still teenagers, FGS. Come back when you're married a few years.

We are not talking about anything, beating your wife there is no excuse ? or perhaps you think otherwise ? Marriage, so living with your partner for a number of years does that not qualify you either then ? get off your high horse, its violence within a relationship, and there is no excuse.

"alleged"

@ Football Genius

surely I don't have to sprinkle the irony on any thicker?

anyways, it's not infanticide, is it?

In addition what the hell do you know what goes on in some of the homes of these posters, how do you know that abuse doesn't happen ?

Your presumptions are extremely arrogant

anyways, it's not infanticide, is it? I cant believe you condone Diouf's behaviour, because with comments like that you just have... your the reason yob culture exists 'hey its ok to slap my bitch up a bit' 'lets have anuva pint lads'

I thought it was clear toon h was joking personally.

Why are my presumptions arrogant? Maybe I am callous only. Or worse, sarcastic?

I really don't believe a football forum is the place to address society issues. This forum is pure escapism. Maybe I am more guilty than you of this, since I have more posts.

And believe me, I am not the reason yob culture exists.

I must say even my wife doesn't know sometimes when I'm joking.

p.s. let me make it clear to anyone who may have doubts, I strongly oppose any wife-beating and have never laid a hand on my wife, except for leisure purposes of course, or any other wife for that matter.

I took that as a joke as well.

Anyway, even if Diouf is a wayward twat, let's hear the whole story before burning him at the stake. She could've hit him for all we know.

execuse me ,whats that meaning?

Diouf got arrested last year for the same thing btw. Fadiga's ex-wife was apparently being a bitch and saying she'd sue him for money or something, so Diouf pushed her to the floor.
