In Spain, there are five soccer players from Real Madrid's team that are a little upset with 7 online wagering sites on the Internet. Real Madrid has announced that the star players are poised to take legal action stemming from the fact that seven different online betting companies have been using their images without their personal approval.

The five players concerned are David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo,  Raul Gonzalez, and  Ronaldo. The players have jointly contacted a lawyer by the name of Jean-Luis Dupont.

Also, the entire team is taking part in the legal action. Real Madrid contends that the Internet companies are applying Real Madrid's name, and/or logo, along with pictures on the Internet sites without official team endorsement.

Mostly known for his triumphant ruling in he widely famed Jean-Marc Bosman ruling in 1995, Jean-Luis Dupont is readying his potential case. In 1995, the Jean-Marc Bosman ruling permitted players to play unrestrained on different European Union soccer clubs.
