Real's Rodriguez caught doing 200 kph - reports

MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez was caught by police driving at 200 kilometres per hour on his way to a training session, media reports said on Friday.





AS.com said the Colombian was chased to the training ground gates by an unmarked police car that had repeatedly signalled for him to pull over.

The speed limit on the roads he used was 120 kph.

Rodriguez could face a hefty fine and have his licence taken away, as happened to team mate Karim Benzema last year.

There was no immediate comment from the player or Real Madrid.
