Jamie Vardy ‘sorry’ as Leicester City probes racist jibe

Leicester City will investigate a “regrettable error in judgment” by forward Jamie Vardy, after the England international was filmed allegedly using racist language in a casino.

The Sun on Sunday released footage that appears to show him abusing a fellow gambler in a casino and calling him “Jap” on three occasions.

In a statement released by Leicester, the 28-year-old said: “I wholeheartedly apologise for any offence I’ve caused. It was a regrettable error in judgment I take full responsibility for and I accept my behaviour was not up to what’s expected of me.”
