Queens Park Rangers Striker Loic Remy arrested in gang rape investigation


The 26-year-old French international was held by Scotland Yard's sex crime squad along with two other men who were arrested in Fulham, west London.
They were questioned over allegations that a 34-year-old woman was raped on 6 May by three men.
Mr Remy's solicitors said the player denied the allegation, but he could not comment. The men have been released on bail until September.
The allegation was passed to the Met from Kent Police two days after the woman said she was attacked.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Three men, aged 26, 23 and 22, were arrested at an address in Fulham on suspicion of rape."
Mr Remy joined QPR from Marseille in an £8m deal in January.
In a statement Mr Remy's solicitors, Harbottle & Lewis, said: "Our client is aware of press reports concerning his arrest by the Metropolitan Police Service on the morning of 15 May 2013.
"Our client denies the claim that has been made. Our client is not able to make any further comment in relation to this matter."
It added he "has not been charged with any offence".
A spokesperson for QPR said the club was "aware of the allegations" but could not comment while the police investigation was continuing.

The statement issued on behalf of the minister by her Special Assistant, Media, Joe Obi, reads in part, “The presentation of false information or forged documentation to regulatory authorities in the processing of official approvals or permits is clearly a serious violation of the Civil Aviation Act, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations and other extant criminal laws in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
