Swiss club FC Thun suspends player accused of sexual relations with a minor THUN, Switzerland (AP) — Swiss club FC Thun has suspended one of its players accused of having sexual relations with a minor.

The club did not name the player in a statement issued Friday, but Swiss tabloid Blick identified him by the initials ‘‘O.F.’’ and said he was a Senegalese national. The club could not be reached for comment on the report.

Thun said it suspended the player after learning that he was questioned before a judge Thursday as a defendant in the case that caused an uproar in Switzerland when arrests were made last year. Last November, authorities arrested 21 men suspected of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl. The age of consent in Switzerland is 16.

‘‘The player assured FC Thun that he has nothing to do with the story,’’ the club said in a statement. ‘‘However, since he was questioned as an accused person and not as a witness, the club’s management decided to suspend the player from the current training and match schedule with immediate effect.’’ -- Pape Omar Faye is the only player on Thun with the initials O.F.Chrisvnicholson (talk) 17:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
