PHOTOS: Love, sex and sports...

Mumbai: Top International Cricket Council ( ICC) umpire Asad Rauf has been accused by a Mumbai-based model, Leena Kapoor, of sexually exploiting her for several months after promising marriage.

Rauf, who is a Pakistani, has been coming to India for several cricket tournaments, including the Indian Premier League, during which Leena alleges they had a relationship.

But Rauf is not the only sportsperson to attain fame for his 'extracurricular act'. Here're a few others who were caught pants down.

In 2010, Indian hockey was rattled by a sex scandal after player TS Ranjitha accused veteran coach MK Kaushik of sexually exploiting her. Ranjitha alleged that Kaushik had for more than a year repeatedly dropped hints to her of a sexual nature which over time became blatant attempts at propositioning her. "One day during the camp in Bhopal, Kaushik sir called me to his room and asked me whether I had had sex. I was quiet for a while, then he said, there is nothing wrong with it, it's good to have sex. I told my senior that Kaushik sir spoke to me in a disgusting manner, and I could not understand why. But I remained quiet about the incident," she said.

Proteas batsman Herschelle Gibbs was implicated in a new sex video scandal. Gibbs was apparently filmed on a security camera while having a wild night out with an unknown friend at an exclusive Cape Town sex club. The video showed four naked women touching Gibbs and his friend intimately. The incident apparently took place in October 2008, shortly after Gibbs’ divorce from Tenielle Povey and before Gibbs underwent rehabilitation for an alcohol problem. Gibbs has also written an autobiography where he has exposed the dark side of South African cricket. The book says during the Proteas tour of Australia in 1997/98, they apparently saw a pretty girl at the bar and things got a little ‘un-Victorian’ as the girl revealed to be a stripper. There was lots of booze and in his own words, “Things loosened up a lot more after that. Various items of clothing were removed in an eyebrow-raising kind of way, and one thing invariably led to another."

Legendary bowler Shane Warne triggered a storm after his sleazy pictures with two British models went online. The randy Aussie cricket ace had model pals Emma Kearney and Coralie Eichholtz in a spin as he topped their wonderful figures again and again in a memorable innings at Emma's flat in 2006. Shameless Shane, 36, even got his two wicked maidens to play with a giant inflatable middle stump as he showed just why his marriage to long-suffering wife Simone has been reduced to ashes. In 2000, scandal ridden Aussie Test cricketer was hit with yet another scandal when it was revealed he had made obscene phone calls to an English woman while overseas, away from his wife and kids. The scandal hit the British and Aussie press. Pictures revealed that an aggressive and arrogant Warne was clowning around for sex.

The world's No. 1 golfer, Tiger Woods, and his Swedish wife, Elin Nordegren, divorced in 2010 following the torrid sex scandal that engulfed Woods in 2009. Woods, 34, allegedly paid the two women $2,000 each for what she described as "dirty" sex. The incident brought the total of Woods' mistresses to 15 in his five-year marriage.

All Kevin 'KP' Pietersen needed to complete his English cultural assimilation was a tabloid kiss-and- tell with some publicity-hungry minor celebrity. And ... check. During the fourth Test at Trent Bridge in 2005, Brit rag The People ran an interview with one of KP's conquests, Big Brother 'beauty' and fellow-South African Vanessa Nimmo. Pietersen had dumped Nimmo by SMS after a stormy, one-month affair, and - in true tabloid style - Nimmo spared no detail of their intimate moments. "Kevin was desperate for sex and kept pester- ing me all day," the jilted lover revealed. "I certainly wasn't hit for six by his performance," the spurned woman claimed. "Kevin Cheatersen," the muck-raking tabloid giggled.

Just before jetting out to a tournament in Singapore in 2000, Shahid Afridi, Atiq-uz-Zaman and Hasan Raza were caught entertaining a group of young ladies in their Karachi hotel rooms. The players insisted that the girls had merely "come to collect autographs" ... but the PCB didn't believe a word of it. All three players were fined and banned from the upcoming ICC hampions Trophy event in Kenya. Poor old Afridi took it the hardest: "My father, other and brothers have been very critical of my actions," he wailed. "They have been reprimanding me since the incident came into focus. It will be very difficult to turn around my career after this but I will surely give it my best shot."

South African cheerleader Gabriella Pasqualotto has become an internet sensation and a mini-celebrity back home after being kicked out of the IPL for secretly blogging on player behavior in post-match parties. The 22-year-old Gabriella, from Pietermaritzburg, was one of the 40 South African cheerleaders in the IPL and was employed by Mumbai Indians. She reportedly wrote about "flirtatious" and "inappropriate" behavior by the cricketers and even mentioned some of them. South African media reported that her blogs created "privacy concerns" for the players. Gabriella told the press she believed many cheerleaders had intimate relations.
