F1: Irvine sues radio station

Formula One racing star Eddie Irvine today launched a High Court action against a radio station he accuses of exploiting his celebrity image by using a ‘‘doctored’’ photograph of him on the front of an advertising brochure.

Mr Irvine was present at London’s Law Courts for the hearing of his damages claim against talkSPORT over a 1999 leaflet which was distributed to more than 900 potential advertisers.
