    The former France international currently awaits a retrial for rape.
    It comes after he was found not guilty of six rapes and one sexual assault against four women during a high-profile trial in January.
    Jurors could not reach verdicts on one count of rape and one of attempted rape against two other alleged victims after 67 hours and 17 minutes of deliberations.
    Mendy’s lawyer said he was “delighted” to have been cleared of sex attacks and “look forward” to clearing his name at re-trial.

    He managed just 75 appearance in all competitions across six seasons.
    The defender was suspended by the Sky Blues last season as he stood trial.

    A SCOTS footballer went to training after an alleged sex attack on a sleeping woman.Salim Kouider-Aïssa, 27, is claimed to have inappropriately touched the 23-year-old at a flat in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, on October 31 2021.

    The woman said she went to a spare bedroom alone and was “shocked” to wake up to the Airdrie forward with hands on her.
    Kouider-Aïssa told a jury that he initially went in the same bed to have a “good sleep.”
    He added that he believed the woman was awake and consenting before carrying out a sex act on her.
    Kouider-Aïssa, also of Kirkintilloch, denies the single charge of sexual assault at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

    The court heard Kouider-Aïssa played for Airdrie at Alloa that day – picking up an injury.
    He initially went home to Kirkintilloch before picking up friends in Glasgow’s west end.
    The footballer drove the men to friend Scott Spinelli’s flat where they drank and listened to music.
    The alleged victim and another woman later joined the men at the flat.

    Jurors were told that the woman went to Mr Spinelli’s spare bed.
    The court heard Kouider-Aïssa was told by Mr Spinelli to stay in the living room.
    The woman said: “I woke up and I could feel someone behind me, that’s when I realised what he was doing.”
    She described that Kouider-Aïssa intimately touched her.
    She added: “I woke up really shocked, I went into bed myself and was shocked to have someone behind me.
    “I was shouting ‘what are you doing’ and he said ‘I thought you were awake, what have I done’.
    “I didn’t really know what to do, he went to get my friends for me.
    “They came rushing in…he told them that he thought I was awake.
    “It wouldn’t matter if I was as there was no consent.”
    Kouider-Aïssa stated in his evidence that he had difficulty sleeping on the couch.
    He said his reason for entering the bed beside the woman was to “get a good sleep.”
    Kouider-Aïssa claimed that the woman brushed his legs and put her leg over his, before he stroked her leg.
    He said: “I was questioning myself if she was awake.”
    Kouider-Aïssa stated the woman turned his back to him before spooning her then kissed her on the neck.
    He added that he went on to carry out a sex act on her stating: “I had belief she was consenting by the way she was moving about the bed, moving her body to me.”
    Kouider-Aïssa stated after the woman woke up and confronted him, he told Mr Spinelli: “I’ve f***ed it, I thought she was awake.”
    Kouider-Aïssa claimed he waited in his car before contacting teammate Max Currie.
    He said: “It was about 8am and Max came and picked me up and we went to get changed (at his flat) for physio.
    “I went to training, it was a Sunday, the football was on so I went to my uncle’s house to watch football.”
    Kouider-Aïssa handed himself into the police that night.
    Mr Allan said “You entered the bedroom of a stranger while she was sleeping?”
    He replied: “Yes.”
    Mr Allan asked what steps Kouider-Aïssa took to check that getting into bed was okay with the woman.
    He replied: “None.”
    Mr Allan said: “There is one easy way to make sure she was awake isn’t there?”
    Kouider-Aïssa: “I suppose so.”
    Mr Allan: “You didn’t ask her if she was awake during any of this?”
    Kouider-Aïssa: “No.”
    Kouider-Aïssa stated that he believes the woman was asleep after hearing the woman’s position at court.
    He later said: “There obviously has to be doubts, to this day, it’s been a while since… I still have a reasonable belief that she was awake for the last part and giving consent as well as that’s obviously why we are here.”

    The trial continues tomorrow before Sheriff Matthew Jackson KC.

    And Haney, 24, found out the hard way not to refrain for too long.
    He said on the Pivot Podcast: “I used to do the eight weeks, the weight week thing.
    “And I couldn’t do it cause’ I started getting like wet dreams when it got closer to my fight.
    “One day I had a wet dream the day of the fight, so I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it.

    “When you’ve got too much testosterone, like too much built up, then your body is going to find a way to release it.
    “So when you go too long, it’s too long.”
    YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, infamously partially put down his loss to Tommy Fury, 24, on having a wet dream before the fight.
    Haney returns to the ring on Saturday in Las Vegas, defending his undisputed lightweight titles against Vasiliy Lomachenko, 35.

    But defending his WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts against Lomachenko acts as the biggest night in his career.
    Haney said: “I’m going to put on a dominant victory.
    “I’m going to go in there and impose my will on Loma and show the world how great Devin Haney really is, how versatile, how strong, how young, and how experienced I am in that ring.
    “This is all a dream come true. I thank God for this every day. I watched fighters make their grand arrivals when I was a young kid.
    “This is all a blessing, and I’m excited for Saturday night.”

    I had a sex ban before all of my fights, it helped me punch harder because women weaken legs claims Carl Froch

    CARL FROCH followed the advice of Rocky Balboa’s fictional trainer Mickey Goldmill during his career – by banning sex while in training. The old boxing myth suggests avoiding sex builds up testosterone, despite studies debunking the theory.

    During a famous Rocky scene, his coach Mickey tells Balboa: “Listen kid, you lay off that pet shop dame. Women weaken legs!”
    The advice was good enough for the beloved Hollywood character to listen to and apparently ex-world champion Froch felt the same.
    Opening up about his sex ban, he told OLBG: “Women weaken legs! Old Mickey quote from Rocky and it’s true. Well I think so anyway!”
    Froch, now 45, retired in 2014 after knocking out George Groves in front of 80,000 fans in their Wembley rematch.

    And his model Rachael had to endure a period of not sleeping with her husband.
    She said at the time: “The sex ban is so hard for me – but Carl tells me he isn’t that bothered because he’s exhausted and it’s the last thing on his mind.
    “After such a long wait it’s really good to have our sex life back to normal and to have that closeness again, to be able to have sex like a normal young couple.”
    Froch has been happy to stay out of boxing since his retirement but does pitch in with the occasional punditry work.

    Although he teased a comeback after being called out by YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, earlier in the year.
    Paul went on to lose to Tommy Fury, 24, but Froch admitted he would still consider the fight if the price is right.
    He said: “I would always be interested in fighting someone who can’t fight like Jake Paul. It’s like someone giving you a suitcase full of money – you won’t say no.
    “I would train for it, I stay in the gym anyway and keep myself in good shape. Right now I am 45 and I retired at 36-37.
    “There is a reason that I retired as after a certain age, the weight cut becomes way too difficult. I wouldn’t make the weight for Jake Paul – I would be 14 stone.
    “If a fight was on the cards – which it isn’t because Paul realised he can’t fight after losing to Tommy Fury and he wasn’t even British level at the time, then I would fight him because like I said before it is easy money.”

    She told local media: “I didn’t understand much about the subject during that period.
    “My ex administered everything incorrectly, and I had acne, thicker body hair, hair loss, and my voice changed at the time.

    “In fact, there are some hormones like testosterone that increase libido, and usually women who use them have a high libido… I became insatiable.
    “This is not healthy, it was already a collateral problem of the hormone as well. They say testosterone is a youth hormone drug.”
    Michele, 41, is still a fitness fanatic and regularly shares photos and videos from the gym on social media.

    But model Abbey insisted she made him wait for nookie because she isn’t a “complete ho” – but described her bedroom style as “Lady on the street, freak in bed”.
    Peter joked back while referring to Ludacris’s song Nasty Girl: “Clean in the workplace, dirty in the sheets.”

    Abbey confessed she’d love to dress Peter as a sexy Viking to spice things up after watching a show about the Nordic pillagers. 
    She said: “I would love you to get jealous. The only time you got jealous was when I was watching that Viking thing. 
    “There’s this show, The Vikings and they are all unreal. Vikings is a thing.”
    She added: “When I watched that show. They’re just cool. Even the girls are as hard as nails. But hot as anything.”
    Peter protested he would look more like Rodney Trotter – getting Vikings confused with Gladiators. 
    He joked to his wife: “You started going to me, ‘Why don’t you be like a Viking?’
    “Have you seen Only Fools And Horses, have you seen when Rodney dresses up as a Gladiator? 
    Emoji code 
    Glamourous Abbey told how she has to “trick” Pete into keeping his hands off herCredit: Instagram
    Abbey branded Peter “vile” for the emoji code he sends her when he’s in the mood. 
    The couple – who have four children together, two boys and two girls called Sophia, Liberty, Jack and Johnny – say they get frisky when the kids are at school. 
    But Abbey claims Peter ruins the mood with his grotesque texts. 
    She said: “I just don’t know how long I can go on with these sexual emojis that you keep sending me.
    “If the kids go to school and he hears me like, put the key in the door, I’m in and no one’s in the house, I just get a beaver and an aubergine emoji text. 
    “I’m not even gonna say the last one but you can imagine what it is.” 
    Peter confirmed: “There’s three emojis.” 
    Abbey described the third emoji: “I’ve got a bit of hydration in there. How vile is that? Am I supposed to go, ‘Oh yeah, now I’m bang up for it’.”
    She added: “Do you think you’re going to get lucky with those messages?”
    Crouch replied: “I’m just letting you know, I’m just putting my cards on the table.”

    While competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, Abbey placed Peter on a football-style sex ban. 
    But after 13 weeks in the wilderness, Abbey went on to win the series – which was no doubt a relief to Peter who then played for Stoke City. 
    Abbey told the Daily Star: “Let’s just say Peter is looking forward to having me back. 
    “He just kissed me and twirled me around when I won. I need to spend some quality time with him.”
    Pussy galore

    Abbey has told how the only thing that can put her off sex with Pete is having their beloved pet cat in the room. 
    Peter said the cats had become a bone of contention – especially when he could hear them doing their business in their litter boxes. 
    He said: “So you know whatever happens in our bedroom, you know if I’m relaxing, in the bath, sleeping… There might be the odd occasion where you know things may progress…”
    Peter continued: “Well it always seems to be like when you’re doing any of those things, I hear the rustling of stones.”
    Abbey replied: “I would never have sex in front of our cat. Let’s just put that out there.”
    Peter then added: “Honestly, every time you hear the rustling of stones and you just think to yourself, cat’s having a s***.”
    Quality not quantity
    Abbey says Peter is lucky to get sex once every two weeksCredit: Instagram
    Abbey revealed how with four kids the duo are “lucky” to get down to business once every fortnight. 
    The pair laughed after a listener claimed his sex life had dwindled to only once every two weeks. 
    The fan wrote in: “Naturally as the years have gone by things have started to slow down a bit. This has gotten worse over the past six months and we are lucky if we get it on once every couple of weeks.”
    Abbey responded: “That sounds bloody fine. I think he’s lucky, him.” 
    Peter chipped in: “Peter, 42, from Surrey is that.”
    Abbey continued: “I think he should grow up, once every two weeks, what’s he complaining about?”
    Hair dryer treatment
    Abbey revealed she uses a trick to confuse her frisky husband while drying her hair.
    She said Peter used to always try it on while she used the hairdryer in the nude so she banned him from the bedroom. 
    But after he ignored the ban she devised a double knotting system for her dressing gown to slow him down. 
    She said: “It drives me insane. I’ve come up with a new tactic with the dressing gown.
    “Instead of tying the belt at the front, I tie it at the back. It’s like ‘how do I untie this thing?’ It works a treat.”
    Asked by Peter why she would not want him admiring her, she replied: “I do.”
    Playing footsy
    Abbey once revealed how she had to get a custom bed made to accommodate Peter’s 6ft 7 frame.

    As a young couple, they made the purchase after Pete’s feet stuck out the end of a regular sized bed which usually measures 6ft 5. 
    She told This Morning in 2008: “It’ll be the first time Pete’s feet are not going to stick out the end.” More

    I got accused of injuring Barcelona ace by having too much sex, now I’m with tennis star and it’s happening again

    Berrettini is set to miss the Italian Open after missing the Madrid Open with a persistent muscle tear issue.
    But it is Satta who has found herself coming under fire from fans.
    It is all too familiar territory for the TV host who found herself accused of having “too much sex” with ex-husband Kevin-Prince Boateng and triggering his injury problems.
    She went public with her new relationship with Berrettini at the beginning of the year but has faced a strange backlash from fans.
    READ MORE SPORT NEWS
    Satta told Vanity Fair: “It was something that had been going on for months, when our story became known in January.
    “[They say] ‘Berrettini doesn’t win because Satta is distracting him, she’s too demanding’… But I held back.”
    Satta unleashed an epic social media rant last month where she raged against the “bullying and sexism” she had been subjected to.
    Berrettini has also hit back against the claims.

    Satta added of her experiences: “[This has happened before] with my ex-husband [Boateng] who suffered from pubalgia. Even there they attacked me saying that we had too much sex and that was the cause of his physical problems.
    “[The injury Berrettini has] is an injury in the same place as the one in 2021, when I didn’t know him. But in any case – do I really have to answer to these people?”
    Boateng is still playing at the age of 36 for German club Hertha Berlin.
    He has previously played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Barcelona, Dortmund and AC Milan.
    The former Ghana international also appeared in the Premier League for Tottenham and Portsmouth earlier in his career.
    Meanwhile, Berrettini is hunting for his first Grand Slam win after losing the 2021 Wimbledon final to Novak Djokovic.

    The former midfielder moved to England in 1995 from Partizan and spent four years in the top flight before retiring at an early age in 2000, while on Motherwell’s books.
    The ex-Yugoslavia international claimed he rolled credits on his career at 29 just to have sex and football made him feel like “throwing up”.
    Curcic previously said: “I have given up football for sex.
    “I wouldn’t sign for another club even if they gave me £10million, but it would be different if they were to offer me 15 different women from across the world.

    “I would tell the club chairman: ‘Please let me make these women happy – I will satisfy them like they have never been satisfied.’
    “Nowadays, every time I think about football I feel like throwing up.”
    Curcic later dismissed the reports as “rubbish” but his claims about his sex life did not slow down.
