Speeding Kean says drink was spiked

BLACKBURN manager Steve Kean pleaded guilty to drink-driving yesterday but claimed his drink was spiked.

The 43-year-old was charged with being almost twice the legal limit when he failed a breath test just hours after his side played Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League last May.

Kean changed his plea to guilty of driving with excess alcohol shortly before his trial was due to begin at Macclesfield Magistrates’ Court in Cheshire yesterday.
