Aachen players get booze ban
Afp, Berlin
Two players of German first division team Alemannia Aachen have been punished by their club for being involved in a drink-driving accident, sporting director Jorg Schmadtke said. Marius Ebbers and German international Jan Schlaudraff were involved in an accident on Sunday after a night out. "Marius will have a fine, a warning and will be suspended for the match against Bayern Munich on Sunday," Schmadtke told Express newspaper, while adding that Schlaudraff will suffer only a fine. Ebbers was at the wheel of Schlaudraff's Porsche when it careered into crash barriers on a motorway at around 0830GMT on Sunday. He has had his driver's licence rescinded although he claimed he felt in perfect condition to be behind the wheel. According to Schlaudraff, his alcohol level was 0.51 grammes per litre of blood -- just over the legal driving limit of 0.50.
