Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that the 28-year-old was twice over the legal limit when he crashed his car following a night out on June 1, 2015.

Wasps player Cipriani, who had denied the charge, was also fined 7,620 pounds (about $10,450).

It is not the first time Cipriani, capped only 14 times for England despite once being touted as a golden boy, has found himself in trouble.
