Ormonde-Ottewill issues apology for laughing gas incident

Swindon Town wing back Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill last night took to social media to issue an apology for his recent behaviour which saw himself and team mates Drissa Traore and Jeremy Balmy suspended from the club with immediate effect.

The trio appeared to be inhaling nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas, and smoking a shisha pipe on a video which emerged via social media. 

The club took the action to immediately suspend the first team players, meaning the trio played no part in last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Bradford City at the County Ground.

Former Arsenal academy trainee Ormonde-Ottewill took to his personal Twitter account on Monday evening to issue an apology to his manager, the chairman, the fans and everybody connected with the club for his actions.

The pacey defender admitted he had 'used this time to reflect and learn' upon his actions, adding 'I look forward to providing you all with plenty of good reasons to restore your faith in me.'

His team mates also involved in the incident, French duo Drissa Traore and Jeremy Balmy had already taken to their own social media accounts to also apologise to both the club and its fan base.

Swindon Town face Lancashire side Bury this weekend, as they arrive at the County Ground having won only one league game in their last seven. Swindon Town manager Luke Williams has been unable to confirm whether the trio will feature in Saturday's game.
