|
As early as 1995, Bowyer
and a Charlton team-mate failed a routine drugs test. Bowyer was
dropped from the England U18 squad and suspended for eight weeks.
In 1996, Bowyer was convicted of affray and fined £4,500 after an incident
in a London fast-food restaurant involving thrown chairs and racial abuse
of Asian worker.
Lee Bowyer was then banned from
England selection by the FA from 2000 to 2002, for his involvement
in a nightclub incident in Leeds in January 2000, alongside Jonathan
Woodgate. They were charged with causing grevious bodily harm, and
although Woodgate was convicted and Bowyer cleared, Bowyer later paid a
£170,000 out-of-court settlement of a civil action for damages.
In April 2005, Bowyer was charged with Public Order Act after an
on-the-pitch brawl with Newcastle team-mate Kieron Dyer. He was fined £600
plus court costs by the Northumbria County Court, and fined £30,000 by the
Football Association and banned for a further three matches, on top of the
three banned games he received for his red card. |
