Leicester City launch probe after racial abuse orgy allegations
Leicester have been rocked by a race scandal after three players were allegedly filmed in an orgy with a Thai woman who was racially abused.
The club is owned by Thai billionaires, and the shocking video was reportedly filmed while players were touring the country celebrating staying up in football's top flight.
The video, obtained by the Sunday Mirror, allegedly shows defender James Pearson, 22, the son of the club's manager Nigel, naked in a hotel room as Thai women are filmed engaged in sex acts.
It is alleged he is joined by striker Tom Hopper, 21 and goalkeeper Adam Smith, 22, who appear to be shown lying naked in a bed laughing as the video is filmed.
In a clip of the video posted on the newspaper's website, one of the men appears to be heard calling one of the women a "slit eye" in a racist slur.
And later one calls one of the women "minging - an absolute one out of ten" as his friends laugh.
Other offensive comments are made to the women as the players appear to laugh and egg each other on.
It is alleged the trio shared the explicit video with friends back in the UK.
Leicester issued a statement on their website that said: "We take the conduct of our players at every level extremely seriously and will take appropriate action, if necessary, once the full facts of the situation have been established.
"Pending the outcome of an internal investigation, the Club will make no further comment."
