Germany 'keeper hit with speeding ban

Borussia Dortmund's Germany goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller has been banned from driving for three months after being caught speeding at 171 kilometres (106 miles) per hour.

A district court in Siegen, near Cologne, confirmed the 36-year-old, who has made five appearances for Germany and was part of the 2014 World Cup squad, was banned after being caught speeding in a 100km/h zone in August.

After being caught by a speed camera, Weidenfeller initially contested the ban, which would have meant a court appearance, but opted to accept the decision and has also been fined 600 euros ($639).

Having lost his place in goal for Dortmund at the start of the season, Weidenfeller was reinstated by Borussia coach Thomas Tuchel last month after first-choice Roman Burki suffered a hand injury.
