Beckham Fans Splash Out In Wrong Products Scandal
Beckham's name used by condom company
A Chinese firm has used footballer David Beckham's name to promote its brand of condoms - without his permission. The firm is claiming men who use the Beckham contraceptive - which has become the best-selling in China - will score in bed like the L.A. Galaxy star does on the pitch (not that he has done much of that).
But fans in the country are calling for a ban on the condoms - because they don't want to offend the sportsman. A fan explains, "We do not want Beckham to think the Chinese people are disrespecting him. We love him here."
A spokesman for Beckham says, "It's not an official brand. David realises that his fans would buy products endorsed with his name but the company have not asked his permission and as such legal proceedings are in place to curtail such illegal branding. David understands that people wish to emulate him dribbling around the box but he feels his Chinese fans are splashing out on the wrong type of products."
