Fenerbahce coach Christoph Daum has confirmed that several of his first-team squad, including former Sheffield United ace Colin Kazim-Richards, are involved in a sex scandal which has rocked Turkish football.

Reports in Turkey earlier this week suggested that a quartet of Sarı Kanaryalar stars had organised 'sex-marathons' in a hotel in Istanbul.

Brazilian trio Vederson, Fabio Bilica and Andre Santos, who only joined the club in a €9million deal from Corinthians in July, were named as was Kazim-Richards, who also enjoyed a spells at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Having talked with staff at the hotel where the 'sex-marathons' allegedly took place, German tactician Daum has concluded that the aforementioned players were involved and immediately transfer listed all four.

"Sadly, I have to confirm that the rumours are true," said Daum to German newspaper Bild.

"I'm absolutely shocked to find out that these kinds of things are happening.

"I never expected Fenerbahce players to get involved in something like this,"
