Southampton's Mario Lemina fined £96,000, banned from driving for speeding

Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina has been banned from driving for a year and fined £96,425 ($123,849) after his car was caught speeding three times.

Lemina, 25, claimed he was not behind the wheel of his Mercedes-AMG 4matic on any of the three occasions it was captured by speed cameras, but could not be sure which one of his family members who were visiting him at the time was behind the wheel.

Aldershot Magistrate's court was told that the car was clocked travelling at 95 miles per hour on a dual carriageway and twice at 60mph in a temporary 40mph speed limit zone.
