Sinclair: We'll always be remembered as accused

Former Leicester City defender Frank Sinclair fears his reputation has been permanently damaged by false rape allegations.

Sinclair and his then Leicester team-mates Paul Dickov and Keith Gillespie were falsely accused of raping a woman in a Spanish hotel room while the club was on a training break in the La Manga resort.

All charges against them were dropped last week after DNA evidence proved none of the players had had any contact with the three women who originally complained to the police.

But Sinclair told the BBC the trio would “always be remembered as the ones that were accused rather than the ones that didn’t do it”.

Leicester had failed to set their players a curfew on the night of the incident.

Sinclair said: “I think clubs will change the way they do things now. If we did have a curfew we would definitely have been home a bit earlier.”
