Updated: 2006-05-25 11:51 Berlin - A German sex shop
chain has bowed to threats of legal action and withdrawn from sale vibrators
named after two of the country's leading football stars.
The offending merchandise with "Ollie K" and "Michael B" stamped on them were
taken off the market after the players concerned - keeper Oliver Kahn and
captain Michael Ballack - said they were considering taking the company to
court.
"It's a clear breach of the personal rights of Oliver Kahn," said the Bayern
Munich star's agent Peter Ruppert.
The sex shop, Beate Uhse, denied any connection between the items and the
players.
"We never had any intention to make a connection between the vibrators on
sale in our shops with the names of "Olli K." and "Michael B." and the
footballers," company spokesperson Assia Tsernookoff insisted.
