England star Ashley Cole is suing the News of the World and the Sun over a series of stories about gay footballers, it was reported today.

Cole has filed writs against News Group Newspapers, owner of the News of the World and the Sun, according to trade magazine Press Gazette, which cited information from a gay website, Pinknews.co.uk.

 

The Arsenal defender is said to be suing for harassment, libel and breach of privacy, even though he was not named in the News of the World story, published on February 12, which alleged two unnamed Premiership footballers and a music DJ engaged in a "homosexual orgy".

 

The tabloid promoted the story with TV advertising but the article said it could not name the footballers due to legal reasons.

 

After the story, headlined "Gay as you go", alleged that "two bisexual stars made some very dirty phone calls - using a mobile as a gay sex toy", bloggers and websites claimed Cole was one of the players involved.

 

"The three men - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - are pictured wearing just vests and boxer shorts as they tackle each other in ways fans never expected," the newspaper reported.

 

The News of the World said its reporter had seen the images, but did not claim that the mobile phone footage of the "orgy" was in the newspaper's possession, which could have legal implications.

 

Pinknews.co.uk compared the obscured photograph of two men the News of the World published with a photograph of a DJ and Cole from the Choice FM website. In the News of the World picture the two men had lighter skin and a large watch was removed, but the website superimposed the two photographs, showing the silhouette of the two men was the same in both.

 

When the Sun, which published follow-up stories about the unnamed players, ran a story about Ashley Cole on February 16, it prompted his solicitors to write to newspaper editors.

 

Cole's lawyers complained that the photograph and accompanying text suggested he was one of the players involved in the News of the World story.

 

They said their client denied he has been involved in a sexual relationship with another Premiership footballer or with any other man.

 

News International and Cole's lawyers both declined to comment.

During the case between Jason Donovan and The Face magazine I remember a lost friend of mine (a gay lawyer) saying.. "I cannot recall any gay man actually losing a case like this".

 

Donovan won and I have seen him in Westbourne Grove several times over the years. Always in the company of the kind of bloke who sets off my Gaydar.

 

 

oh, and edit to add. Cole must be involved. It said so on the internet

Ah, of course - you've had sex with women so you can't be gay. FACT.

 

If only several politicians had thought of that defence...

being married and having numerous girlfriends i think is evidence against the gay theory but then i forgot the current rule.

You claim you're not gay so we know you are FACT

Yes, yes , yes....all liberalism aside, what's the score with this ?

 

Is the wider web community utterly convinced that Cole is one of the gay men in question?

Whom might the 'other one' be. The one with a mobile phone up his anus, I mean.
