If that's true then I guess we can return to calling him a dickhead. So disappointed by it.

Little lol.
2x over is a lot more than a careless error at dinner.
Can't believe he wouldn't just get a cab. Millions a year and can't get a damn cab... SMH...
Thought I would add a bit of real life to this discussion and the Sun article as my first post. Firstly, if Hugo did blow 80mg this would be far more than 2 and a half pints.I deal with drink driving cases regularly and can say with some certainty that it would equate to at least 4/5 pints or a bottle of wine given his fitness and likely faster metabolism. Secondly I have no idea what the 'court papers' are that the Sun refer to - this isn't a trial (Hugo will probably plead guilty) papers wont be released until the day of the hearing so they couldn't have obtained the details other than through a (unlikely) leak. Thirdly, 80mg carries nothing like a 6 month prison sentence (that applies to the worst cases of persistent offending or 150mg+) nor will it threaten an 'unlimited' fine. As this is (I assume) a first time offence he will get a fine, probably of around 150% of his weekly wages (reduced due to guilty plea) and a ban of 18 months. He will be offered a drink driving course to reduce the ban (wouldn't you like to be on that course!). The Sun article is typical of the inaccurate crap reporting that makes them lack any credibility.
I also know a bit about Spurs as well as the law - been supporting them for over 50 years and can honestly say that when they are on form this is the best team I have seen since the early 60s.
I was just so surprised
Hugo was one of the last players I would have thought would have been so stupid
Let’s hope it was just a one off and he’s learned his lesson as he’s been brilliant for us
If you can't see what's wrong with your post then I give up.
If u can't understand the use of inverted commas in my original statement then maybe you should indeed "give up".
i've been breathalysed twice over the years. Each time it confirmed I'd been drinking (no shit) but each time I was let on my way.
imo if he was drinking wine, I'd reckon he was on 2 bottles, with his fitness and metabolic rate considered.
Over twice over the limit? That's a shocker. I'd have been on multiple double vodkas, a load of white wine and then red. Finishing off with water for the last hour.
Surely the club can give the players an emergency number to call. Some die hard Spurs fan will appear on a moped, chuck it in the boot and drive the guy home. Get a couple of tickets in the posh seats for a CL or Cat A game as long as they don't squeal to the red tops.
So we're officially letting off the waiter who had apparently overfilled poor capitaine's glass?
I need to write a speculative letter to the club because that's my dream job you just created.
Hanging's too good for him
I think the majority would have assumed that perhaps he had a glass or two over the top and that the circumstances would not be too dark.
To read the report that he was veering around, unable to speak correctly, Twice over the limit and had puked in his car really dispels any suggestion Hugo was a bit “unfortunate”
If the facts are indeed as presented he could have killed himself and others and for me, the loss of credibility is vast now. Such a bloody shame. Could not be further away from being the model pro

The geezer is a fucking moron beyond belief. Have we even punished him?
Luckily nobody was killed and as this is a first offence let's not 'kill' the guy.
I hope he's fit and well and plays on Saturday. Let the courts decide a suitable punishment.
Hugo Lloris receives £50,000 fine and 20-month driving ban for driving under the influence.
Unlikely.
