Lloris adamant drink-driving charge 'does not change who I am'

Tottenham and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris insists that being found guilty of drink-driving does not change the person he is.

The 31-year-old World Cup winner was given a 20-month driving ban and fined £50,000 last month after being stopped by police on August 24 and providing a sample that was more than twice the legal limit in England and Wales.

Lloris suffered a thigh strain three days after the incident and only returned to action at club level for Spurs against La Liga title holders Barcelona in the Champions League on October 3.

He has since played against Cardiff City in the Premier League and for France in their 2-2 friendly draw with Iceland on Thursday.
