Husband in Drag Arrested for Identity Theft

A man arrested for using his wife's gym card has denied doing so in order to spy on women exercising in the 'Female only' section of the local gym. He insisted it was the gym's payment policy that made him resort to such a charade, as he and his wife didn't want to pay for membership that would go unused.

The 42 year old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says his wife gave him permission to use the gym in her name, when she decided she no longer had the time to go regularly.

The police were called when the man, wearing full make up and a red wig and who'd stuffed tennis balls down his top and was wearing a tennis skirt over cycling shorts, was caught by a cleaner as he sneaked into the mens toilets.

The gym denied it refused to let clients cancel their gym membership, saying their membersip terms and conditions were fully explained on page 325 of the 325 page 'New Members Handbook', where it clearly states that only three years notice is required, that each member must pass a stringent Superstars fitness test before being allowed to leave and that the notice could only be accepted when there was a 'Z' in the month.
