Vardy apologizes over alleged racist incident at casino

Following newspaper claims of a racist incident, Leicester City front man Jamie Vardy has made an apology.

Leicester City and England striker Jamie Vardy has issued an apology following allegations he racially abused a man at a casino last month.

A video obtained by The Sun on Sunday allegedly shows the 28-year-old, whose Leicester strike partner is Japan international Shinji Okazaki, repeatedly referring to a fellow punter as "Jap" in the early hours of July 26.

The reports also claim teammates David Nugent and Ritchie De Laet were present and tried to calm Vardy, who is said to have later become embroiled in an argument with a second man.
