Leicester City have sacked three players who were reportedly filmed in a racist orgy during their Thailand tour.
In the film, Tom Hopper, Adam Smith and James Pearson were seen verbally abusing three Thai girls while they committed sexual acts with them in a Bangkok hotel room, the Mirror reported.
The contracts of the players have been terminated by the club after the players were sent home from the Premier League club's goodwill tour of Thailand at the end of May.
A spokesman said that Leicester City Football Club has notified Hopper, Smith and James Pearson of the same. He said that club was acutely aware of its position, and that of its players, as a representative of the city of Leicester, the Premier League, the Football Association and the Club's supporters and that it would make no further comment on the investigation, its finding or outcomes.
Meanwhile, Leicester Supporters' Club chairman Cliff Ginnetta said that the action of the players have brought the club and the game into disrepute.
