Schumacher continues to protest innocence

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER claims his sportsmanship should not be questioned, despite being embroiled in a cheating row at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The Ferrari driver was forced to start Sunday’s race from the pit lane after stewards decided he faked an accident to sabotage Fernando Alonso’s last flying lap in qualifying.

Schumacher denies the allegation and delivered a superb display to claim fifth on Sunday, as Alonso won from the pole position he inherited on Saturday night.
