A feast for the eyes!

The Real Madrid player Karim Benzema has been suspended indefinitely from the French national team over a s3x tape involving France teammate Mathieu Valbuena.

The president of the national football federation (FFF), Le Graet said today that Benzema was put under formal investigation by a French judge last month in connection with an alleged attempt to blackmail international team mate Mathieu Valbuena over a s3x video.

I have decided, it's a decision from the president of the French federation and not from the executive committee or the ethics committee, that Karim Benzema cannot play for France until the situation evolves, Noel Le Graet said, calling it a ''heart-breaking'' decision.

Le Graet was not specific about the duration of the ban but his ruling probably means Benzema cannot be called up by the national team until he is convicted or cleared of the alleged offence, putting his EURO 2016 spot in jeopardy.

Benzema's involvement in the plot has not yet been fully determined, but investigators believe he was approached by a childhood friend to act as an intermediary.

The 27-year-old striker has denied any wrongdoing.
