Surely this pathetic excuse for a paper and the News of the World (the S*n on Sunday) can be shut down for good, all they do is bring harm to innocent people.
Heres the story.
Cole denies 'disgraceful' sex claims
Ashley Cole's lawyer today denied gay sex allegations and said it was 'disgraceful' the England star should face such 'insinuation and innuendo' before his wedding to Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy.
Solicitor Graham Shear confirmed that legal proceedings had been launched against The Sun and the News of the World over the stories.
His statement, issued today, also said that the Arsenal defender, 25, was trying to focus on this summer's World Cup.
He said: 'These proceedings were commenced because these newspapers published false and offensive articles designed to tell readers that Ashley had behaved in what the News of the World described as a `perverted' way with other professional footballers.
'The newspapers knew there was no basis to name Ashley but arranged the articles and pictures in such a way that readers would identify him.
'There is no truth whatever in these allegations. Ashley Cole will not tolerate this kind of cowardly journalism or let it go unchallenged.
'It is disgraceful that he should be faced with this kind of unpleasant insinuation and innuendo at a time when he is trying to focus on this summer's World Cup and his forthcoming wedding.
'These proceedings will be vigorously and actively pursued.'
In a story published on February 12, the News of the World claimed two Premiership footballers used a mobile phone as a sex toy.
The story did not name the players allegedly involved but the internet has been awash with rumours about who was involved.
The newspaper published a follow-up story on February 19, and similar allegations appeared in The Sun.
