Inquest

Quote:"An inquest in London held on 9 September, 1998, heard that there was in fact no warrant out for Justin Fashanu's arrest and that the American police had already dropped the investigation because of lack of evidence." We would like to include this information into the German article. Do you have ANY citeable sources verifying it??? Regards.--Nemissimo II 18:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Sunday People reference

The Sunday People ran an article on Justin Fashanu in 1982 headlined "I am not gay". I have yet to add this as a reference until I can find a date to make it a firm reference. This was quoted as a reference in the book "Law and the Media" (by Tom Crone) as an example of Defamation. -- Ash 06:06, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

allegation and suicide - unclear and unsourced

The "Allegation and suicide" section is largely unsourced, and is very unclear, particularly regarding the allegation made against him. In particular, it doesn't say where the alleged assault was claimed to have taken place (it doesn't even say directly that it was in the US): it should say which city (I'd guess from context that it was in Maryland, but surely we can do better than that), and ideally in roughly what circumstance (at a party, in the street, at a nightclub, at someone's home, ...). It says he was questioned by the police, but doesn't say which police force (city, sheriff, state?). It says warrants were "widely reported" to exist, but doesn't cite any of these reports. It says he went to the sauna, but doesn't support that with a reference. And the stuff about the inquest is entirely unsourced. -- Finlay McWalterTalk 23:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

There are many published news articles for this event. Below is the text from The Times which I'll add as a short citation:

The Times, 10 September 1998, US police say Fashanu lied about his sexuality
