Franck Ribbery Sex Scandal

As France prepares for its World Cup appearance, they have had to also deal with a shocking sex scandal involving alleged under age teen prostitutes. 

The good news, according to Reuters, is that French soccer star Franck Ribery, who is at the center of sex scandal, will not face the investigators before the South African World Cup finals.

"As the case stands now, it is not expected Ribery will be summoned by the judge to be possibly placed under official investigation before the start of the competition," the judicial source said, declining to be named.

The source added that another French international, Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who also faces questioning in the same case, would not be heard before the World Cup.

NordicbetFrance is currently listed with 15.00 odds of winning the World Cup 2010 outright according to NordicBet.com.

A blonde Algerian-born teenager called Zahia Dehar claims she worked as a 2,000-euros-a-night (£1,740) courtesan to some of the biggest names in French football, and one of these individuals apparently included Ribery. 

In an interview with Paris-Match, Ms Dehar described how she was flown to Munich in April last year on the occasion of Mr Ribery's 26th birthday.

"I came on an aeroplane with one of my friends who I suppose [Ribery] had asked regarding my services. He had booked a room in a luxury hotel. We had sexual relations and he paid me... I was a nice birthday present, wouldn't you say?" she said.

The Franck Ribery sex scandal is just one of many to rock the sports world over these past two weeks.  In Australia, the Melbourne Storm are now under investigation by Victoria's gambling watchdog for alleged improprieties related to sponsorship deals while in the UK, Sunday's talk was all about how snooker nooker champion John Higgins was captured on camera shaking hands on a disgraceful deal to fix a string of high-profile matches after demanding a £300,000 kickback.
