Tottenham FC’s goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was allegedly over twice the drink-drive limit when police stopped him driving his new £65,000 Porsche in the West End.
The 31 year-old French international, who lifted this summer’s World Cup trophy, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on September 12.
He is charged that on August 24 he drove the powerful dark grey 4-litre Panamera sports car in Gloucester Place, Marylebone with 80 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
The legal limit is 35.
Lloris gave police his home address, a large £5.9m property called in Winnington Road, East Finchley, north London.
The road runs parallel to The Bishops Avenue aka ‘Billionaire’s Row’ and is one of the capital’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.
Lloris was stopped by police at 2.10am by officers carrying out a routine stop and charged late the same day.
He was originally bailed to appear in court on September 11, but this has been put-back 24 hours at the request of his solicitors.
