Chris Lewis Presents Britain’s Jailed Sportsmen

FORMER England cricketer Chris Lewis has been found guilty of smuggling cocaine into Britain, having carried the drug inside his cricket bag on a flight to the UK from St Lucia.

Croydon Crown Court heard that Lewis had on him cans of fruit and vegetable juice containing dissolved cocaine with a street value of more than £140,000.

In hindsight, such capers always seem foolish: the recognisable face walking through customs will not be stopped by an official looking to experience the thrill of meeting a celebrity; and on his person he carries the exotica of canned vegetable juice.

Says the man with the rubber gloves and will to use them:

“Can you sign the can, please sir. It’s for my, er son?”

So Chris Lewis is busted. And in time he may well come to reflect on his escapades by way of a book.

And in the sprit of contect, Anorak brings you the British sportsmen who went to jail:
