Jack Wilshere has been caught smoking for the second time in nine months.
Pictures emerged of England
flops Wilshere and Joe Hart behaving outrageously at a pool party in Las
Vegas.
The most
compromising photograph is of Arsenal midfielder Wilshere with a
cigarette in his mouth, which is certain to anger Arsenal and England
fans.
In addition, he can be seen puffing on
a cigar, having drink poured into his mouth by a fellow reveller who is
standing outside the pool and there are also pictures of Hart passing
on a mouthful of drink into Wilshere’s mouth.
Manager
Arsene Wenger is a staunch anti-smoker but the club dismissed any
concern despite Wilshere being caught with a cigarette for
the second time in a year.
After
being caught in October a few days ahead of a match, he insisted: ‘I am
not a smoker.’ Wenger then gave Wilshere, 22, a public dressing down,
saying: ‘I disagree completely with that behaviour. When you are a
football player you are a role model and you don’t do what damages your
health.
‘You can damage
your health at home, you can drink at home, you can smoke at home and
nobody sees it. But when you go out socially, you can damage your
reputation as an example.’
Wilshere’s representatives had originally claimed the midfielder was dared to hold the cigarette as a joke.
But
he later admitted: ‘Players make mistakes. I am not a smoker. I spoke
with the boss and he asked me what happened, I explained to him and we
sorted it out. It is not an issue I expect to come back. As I said, I am
not a smoker so I think that will be my last one.’
