Berlin: Ex-Germany captain Philipp Lahm has confirmed he is taking legal advice over a spoof April Fool's story gone wrong.

A Munich-based fitness start-up issued an apology to the World Cup winner over a fake April 1 story, which hit the German media last Saturday, falsely claiming he had invested in them.

Lahm failed to see the funny side. "I'm taking advice and bringing the matter to the detailed attention of a lawyer," said the 33-year-old footballer.
