Yes, there are sex scandals in other countries too. But they seem to get a lot more attention in Britain. For example, our former health minister had been cheating on his wife for months, then divorced because of it. The press knew about it, but nobody bothered to make an article about it, until a gossip mag planned to do a story, and then all the fuzz was about how the gossip mag dared to invade his privacy... And isn't it specified in the French constitution how many mistresses the president is required to have?
It's quite simple, you can't trust him with your wife. We don't like that, the fact it was a team-mate's girlfriend only compounds the offence.
