England rugby player Mike Tindall was banned from the road for three years today for drink-driving.

The 30-year-old Gloucester centre admitted being over the legal limit when he was pulled over by police on the M4 near Newbury, Berkshire, in March last year, the morning after a day at the races.

Tindall, of Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire, was also ordered to pay a £500 fine and £75 costs when he appeared before Reading Magistrates' Court.
