Vainikolo's GBH charge dropped

A charge against England rugby player Lesley Vainikolo of allegedly causing grievous bodily harm has been dropped.

Mr Vainikolo, 30, was accused of punching Jake Alicker outside a nightclub in Bath in October 2008.

A jury failed to reach a verdict at his trial at Bristol Crown Court earlier this month.

The Crown Prosecution Service had been considering a retrial, but has now discontinued its case against the Gloucester player.
