Disgraced footballer Adam Johnson has never "asked for special treatment” in prison and is doing "fine", his sister has said.
Reports emerged on Sunday that the 27-year-old was attacked by another convict after refusing to clean hair from a plug hole.
It was claimed Johnson was cleaning the shower in Doncaster's Moorland prison when he was punched in the face during a fight.
One report suggested the former footballer told a fellow convict "do you know who I am?"
But his sister Faye Johnson has since taken to Facebook to deny the claims.
She wrote: "These newspapers are laughable.
"Why is there rarely any truth in their stories? Were the false stories about harm not so sickening we would find it funny.
" I've just spoke to Adam he is fine and I also want to add that never has he asked for special treatment and never will he.
" He has the right to appeal and he has! In the meantime, he's an ordinary prisoner like the rest.
