Basketball players axed over orgy sex tape

Three college basketball players have been suspended after graphic videos emerged on social media.

Freshmen Kevin Dorsey and Dupree McBrayer and sophomore Nate Mason were dropped by the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday following the temporary publication of two videos on Dorsey's Twitter account.

In the clips, which disappeared around 30 minutes later, two men are seen engaging in simultaneous oral and penetrative sex with a woman.

According to one user on fan website 'Gopher Hole', Dorsey is pictured in one of the videos but the identities of the other participants are unclear.

In a statement, the Gophers confirmed that the trio had been suspended for failing to meet "expectations and standards".
