Shane Warne and 888 Poker in Porn RowPoker Site Advertised By Aussie Cricket Legend Causes Stir With Porn Site Ads |
|
Controversial cricket legend Shane Warne has caused a stir after ads for the online poker site he promotes, 888 Poker, appeared on a hardcore porn site.
The Sunday Telegraph reported Warne’s manager James Erskine as saying, “No, Shane nor I were aware of the 888 Poker Site appearing on porn sites. Thank you for informing us, we will look into it.’’
The Aussie lends his name to children’s charity The Shane Warne Foundation which his brother John manages. John Warne told the newspaper, “It’s something that I’ll speak to the board about and get their opinions on, but it’s not something I really want to take a stand on myself just off the cuff.
“I actually look forward to having a conversation (with Shane’s) management and find out what their position is and convey that to our board and we’ll make a decision from there.”
The Shane Warne Foundation website says the organisation “raises funds to enrich the lives of seriously ill and underprivileged children in Australia, now and in the future.”
