One of the most popular boxers in the world, Ricky Hatton, has been photographed snorting coke by the London tabloid, News of the World. This revelation comes just one week after that paper broke the story that England footballer Wayne Rooney had been sleeping around with a €1200 per night escort while his wife Coleen was pregnant.
The paper called it a 10-hour drinking and drug binge and offered up footage it says will devastate boxing champ Hatton.
These are the pictures that will rock the world of boxing - bloated former world champion Hatton snorting line after line of cocaine.
First the sporting legend casually takes out a wrap of the drug he has hidden in his SHOE.
Then he pours the white powder on to a table top before cutting it into three massive lines with a credit card. Finally he expertly hoovers them up his nose through a rolled up £20 note.
Hatton’s fight with Manny Pacquiao was one of the most wagered on in recent memory.
After losing his last fight to Pacquiao, Ricky has put his career on a long hiatus, with rumours of a comeback circulating the media since.
Hatton once voiced suspicion that Manny Pacquiao may be using performance enhancing drugs. The British boxer said he should have made the same blood testing demand as Floyd Mayweather, whose fight against the Filipino fighter fell through in early 2010.
The images of Hatton snorting cocaine were reportedly captured at a Manchester, England hotel two weeks ago.
