Last updated : 01 July 2002 By editor

The Irish dibble are investigating a complaint against Dwight Yorke following a drunken incident at a prestigious race meeting involving a female guest in the VIP tent at the Budweiser Irish Derby.

Guests reported Yorke was "very drunk" and was "making a nuisance" of himself, particularly to the female guests.

"Dwight Yorke was obnoxiously drunk. He was wearing a silly hat and taking pictures of people," said one guest.

It is believed that security men threw Yorke out of the tent and he was rushed out of the racecourse while photographers were stopped from getting to the scene.
