A famous sporting individual has been accused by his former partner of allegedly trying to poison them and has reported this to the police.

The individual is now facing several criminal claims with a southern police force sent the new information on Tuesday morning by the ex. No arrests have been made nor have any of the relevant parties been questioned.

The police are now assessing the allegations before deciding on their next move, according to the Daily Mail, with the most damaging claim being an attempt from the famous individual to allegedly drug his then partner without them knowing in 2018.

The ex has specifically accused him of conspiring to "maliciously administering, or causing to be administering poison or a noxious substance".

Police have no yet acted on the information they've received

There are no specifics given on what type of drug was allegedly used but the complainant claims it may have been some kind of date rape substance. There is no suggestion any rape or sexual offence took place.

A source said: "The ex has accused him of plotting to drug them. One time after they met up they woke up with no memory of the night before. It is a very serious accusation and has only come to light recently."

Laws in the Offences against The Person Act 1861 state that giving drugs or causing them to be given can be punished with a five-year prison sentence.

The police force who have received the information could not comment when approached as College of Policing guidelines state that responses shouldn't be given if they "could reasonably identify victims or suspects in this matter".

A spokesman simply said: "We are unable to confirm nor deny what media have put to us on this occasion."
