Club Statement
Posted on: Mon 09 Aug 2010
The club confirm that no Oxford United players were stabbed in a reported incident in a London nightclub last weekend.
Following a rather inaccurate story in a Sunday tabloid, the club can also confirm that this was not a team event or activity.
However, the club confirms that Alfie Potter was arrested in relation to an incident, but was released without charge.
Alfie was not considered for selection for the away game at Burton due to this, while further information was sought by the club.
Following further conversations the club are confident of Alfie's non-involvement in the stabbing, therefore he will be available for selection and no further comment will be made due to the ongoing police investigation.

I got a txt this afternoon to say that although Olly the Ox had won the mascot derby he subsequently failed a post-run drug test so the story may soon be pulled from the official site.
As a result the thousands of #oufc people who use unofficial forums will “get to know

Re:
I heard that the issue was one of gender and very similar to the Caster Semenya case. As we all know an Ox is a castrated bull and apparently Olly was found to be in full posession of both testicles."boris" wrote:No mention of the Olly failed drug test there, snake. My sources indicate that it was merely over-zealous use of an anti-BSE vaccination...
A spokesman from the club said "We're not going to apologise for our mascot having balls. Infact we're proud of the fact".

Although if I were the chap inside the suit I'd be very worried in case the club decided it had to rectify the matter."Mally" wrote:I heard that the issue was one of gender and very similar to the Caster Semenya case.
