Bendtner suspended 6 months after drinking binge

The Danish Football Federation suspended striker Nicklas Bendtner from international soccer for six months after he was arrested for drunk driving, it announced on Monday.

The 25-year-old, who is currently on loan at Juventus from Arsenal, was taken to a police station after being caught driving the wrong way down a street in downtown Copenhagen in the early hours of Sunday morning.

"The DBU have demanded that Nicklas Bendtner take six months off to think over his international future," read a federation statement.
