Canadian soccer star Alphonso Davies has been handed a one-month driving ban after being pulled over by police in Munich, Germany.
The 20-year-old Bayern Munich player was stopped by authorities on Tuesday for driving at a speed of 50 km/h in a 30 km/h zone. According to reports, Davies was also driving without a valid driver’s license.
The incident occurred in the Schwabing district of Munich, where Davies resides. He was reportedly driving a black Audi Q8 at the time of the incident.
Davies was issued a fine of 560 euros (approximately $850 CAD) and will have his license suspended for one month. He will also have to attend a mandatory driving safety course.
In a statement released by Bayern Munich, the club expressed their disappointment in Davies’ actions and stated that they will be handling the matter internally.
This is not the first time Davies has faced legal trouble while living in Germany. In May 2020, he was fined for violating COVID-19 lockdown rules by visiting a friend’s house.
Davies, who was born in Ghana and raised in Edmonton, Canada, has become a household name in the soccer world. He made his professional debut with the Vancouver Whitecaps at the age of 15 and has since become a key player for Bayern Munich and the Canadian national team.
Fans and supporters of Davies have expressed their disappointment in his actions, but also hope that he will learn from this experience and make better choices in the future.
This incident serves as a reminder that even professional athletes are not above the law and must adhere to traffic regulations. It also highlights the importance of having a valid driver’s license and following road safety measures.
Davies has not yet publicly commented on the incident, but it is expected that he will address the issue in the coming days.
