'Mr Franck Ribery... never gave his authorisation and his consent for the use of this picture... of his image... to this publication,' Carlo Alberto Busa told French radio RMC.

The picture, which appeared on CNN's Twitter feed, features Ribery in a cryotherapy box with the following headline: 'Woman found frozen in cryotherapy chamber, health trend
