Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer has left us a statement via his Lawyers regarding the alledged rape case at a London Hotel. Dyer is currently in Turkey on on England duty ahead of the Euro 2004 clash tomorrow and has put the record straight through a media release produced through his lawyers.

Sky Sports News reported that the 24-year-old midfielder is keen to "set the record straight and put an end to the massive speculation" following an alleged attack on a 17-year-old.

Dyer has been quoted saying in the statement:

"My reputation has been damaged in the most public way possible.

"I had no involvement in this matter, let alone being 'at the centre of it' as suggested in emails, websites and elsewhere.

"Until now, I have felt trapped and it has been very frustrating that I have been unable to clarify publicly the facts which clearly exonerate me, whilst the police conduct their inquiries."

Fresh reports suggest that two footballers were arrested by police on Friday morning in relation to this alleged incident.
