The former Middlesbrough striker Hamilton Ricard has been sentenced to three years in prison after killing a man more than four years ago in a car accident. The incident occurred in December 2002 in Zarzal, where the former Colombia international hit four people - including 17-year-old Edgar Andrés Rosero Garcés, who died from his injuries.
Ricard, 33, who played more than 100 games for Boro between February 1998 and July 2002, was also ordered to pay more than £68,000 in compensation. Lawyers acting on behalf of Ricard, now playing with Uruguayan side Danubio, are appealing against the decision.
