Becks to sue over sex claims

London - David Beckham's management company says it is taking legal action against a US magazine which published claims the former England captain slept with prostitutes.

The company said in a statement the allegations in the weekly In Touch are "completely untrue and totally ridiculous as the magazine was clearly told before publication."

"Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it. We are taking legal action against the magazine," the statement said.

Beckham has been married for 11 years to former Spice Girl singer Victoria. The couple have three sons.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder now plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.

The magazine quotes a 26-year-old woman, identified as Irma Nici, as saying she was a prostitute who slept with Beckham five times in 2007. She claims he also slept with a second prostitute.
