费叮南与曼联要告Channel 4，因为昨晚该台制作一个半虚构的纪录片，该片 讲一个虚构的年轻射手如何到了职业足球的世界，没多久就名利兼收，但是 生活却越过越放荡，导致最终身陷强暴案疑云里。 本来这节目被费丁南的委托律师Schilling透过法院要停止这节目播出， 但是，在C4给了他们一份影带拷贝确保没有费丁南的影子在里面之後， 妥托律师把告诉撤回，C4也顺利把节目如时播出；结果，费先生等人才发现 这节目虽然没有他本人原先的影子，却还是被配上他自己的旁白声音， 然後被用另一段剪接秀出他的身影。 费丁南与其律师准备要告C4毁谤与侵犯个人隐私，C4说"法院见"。 这节目的名称叫『性，足球员，录影带』 可恶，我居然没看到这节目。不过，奇怪的是，如果费先生是清白，那为何要挡 C4播出？大可等C4播再告倒电视台就好了，大概是预防甚於治疗，名声一旦被诬 陷，即使之後证明是清白的也很难重拾以往名誉。我相信费丁南绝对会要回他的 清白，就像上季莱斯特城在西班牙被控告强暴的闹剧一样。 http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,1563,1287210,00.html Ferdinand to sue Channel 4 for libel Sam Jones Friday August 20, 2004 The Guardian Lawyers acting for the Manchester United and England footballer Rio Ferdinand are to sue Channel 4 for libel over footage used in a programme broadcast last night. They say that material shown in Sex, Footballers and Videotape, a drama about the sex lives of a group of young football players, was libellous and invaded his privacy. Yesterday, Ferdinand's solicitors, Schillings, tried to get a high court injunction to stop the programme being shown, but withdrew their application after they were shown a copy of Sex, Footballers and Videotape and concluded that it did not show Ferdinand. However, he was mentioned in the accompanying voice-over, and lawyers acting for Channel 4 maintained that he was featured in the video clip. Despite Ferdinand's denial that it was him in the video, Channel 4 said it intended to broadcast the footage and voiceover, prompting Schillings to announce they would sue for libel. In the end, Channel 4 cut the person it had claimed was Ferdinand from the offending footage, but did show a different video featuring him. A Schillings spokesman said the programme was still libellous and Channel 4 "could expect a libel writ" because of the footage they had used and because of the publicity generated in the run-up to its broadcast. He also said that the Daily Star would face legal action over its reporting of the programme. "Given that Channel 4 are fully aware that Mr Ferdinand denies the person depicted is him, this will include a claim for punitive as well as aggravated damages." A Channel 4 spokesman said the broadcaster would be contesting the action. "We have received a letter from Mr Ferdinand's solicitors, but have not been served with any proceedings. On the basis of the letter we have received, we feel the claim is unfounded and we will be robustly defending any proceedings," he added. A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said the programme was "fair and accurate". 该节目的叙述是： Sex, Footballers and Videotape Dramatised documentary exposing the dark side of Premiership football through the story of Jason Gill, a fictional young striker who is signed to one of the big clubs and finds himself catapulted overnight into a previously undreamt of world of wealth and celebrity. Dazzled by his new lifestyle and heavily influenced by his new friends, Jason's hedonistic spree spirals out of control and before long he finds himself at the centre of an alleged rape case. The film is based on recent sex and drug scandals involving footballers and draws on evidence from interviews with footballers, managers, agents and the young women with whom they are involved. --
