QPR striker Loic Remy has been bailed after he was arrested on suspicion of rape.
The 26-year-old France international was being held by Scotland Yard's sex crime squad together with two other men.
Three men have been bailed until September, the Metropolitan Police said today.
Arrest: Loic Remy (left) was arrested on suspicion of rape of a woman believed to be in her thirties
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said yesterday: 'Officers from Sapphire are investigating an allegation of rape which happened on May 6 in the west London area.
'The allegation was passed on to the Metropolitan Police Service by Kent Police on 8 May after the 34-year-old female victim reported it to them on the previous day, 7 May.
'The victim alleges she was raped by three men.
Remy, who is paid £80,000 a week, joined QPR in January for £8million but was unable to help the team avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Remy will hope to be available for the already-relegated Rangers' final game of the season away at Liverpool on Sunday.
A QPR spokesman said yesterday: 'The club is aware of the allegations regarding Loic Remy, but due to police investigations is unable to comment.'

Skapetis penalty the difference at Loftus Road ...
QPR UNDER-18S were crowned Professional Development League Two
champions after a 1-0 play-off final win over Huddersfield Town at
Loftus Road.
R’s top scorer Peter Skapetis
added his 13th league goal of the campaign from the penalty spot just
before half-time to decide a tight contest.
The
win also saw Steve Gallen’s side record their fifth clean sheet in six
outings, with the Irishman’s young guns worthy recipients of the
championship trophy come the full-time whistle following a fine season.
The
game enjoyed a scrappy start and it was an unorthodox move which led to
the opening chance of the contest for QPR. A strike from range cannoned
off a defender into the path of Ryan Young, who shot straight at Ed
Wilczynski from an acute angle.
That aside,
there was little to separate the two sides as the quarter-hour mark
approached – though Rangers should have led come the 15th minute.
Excellent
work from Michael Petrasso saw the winger evade a whole host of
challenges before squaring to Skapetis in the box, who could only swipe
at an effort from 10 yards.
The chance,
however, was far from dead and when the ball eventually found its way to
Dylan Carreiro 25 yards from goal, the Canadian saw his curling shot
beautifully tipped wide by Wilczynski.
Two
minutes later, visitors Huddersfield almost snatched the lead with their
first real chance of note. Jake Charles bore down on goal before his
low drive from distance flew past the despairing left hand of Joe Lumley
and inches past the post.
Opportunities for
much of the remainder of the first half were few and far between.
Skapetis warmed the hands of Wilczynski from 20 yards but the Terriers
‘keeper pulled off a smart catch.
Wilczynski,
however, was forced into a stunning stop nine minutes before the break. A
slip in the visitors’ defence saw the ball fall to Darnell Furlong –
son of R’s legend Paul – on the edge of the box, before his blast was
magnificently tipped over.
But Rangers drew first blood on the stroke of half-time from the penalty spot.
Town
centre-half Joe Wilkinson was penalised – and subsequently booked – for
a pull at the shirt of Harly Wise and when Skapetis stepped up, he
coolly slotted home from 12 yards.
Gallen’s
side could have even doubled their lead soon after but Skapetis was just
unable to meet Petrasso’s teasing low cross from the left.
Huddersfield
fashioned a chance to draw level just minutes after half-time. Cole
Kpekawa fluffed a clearance when under pressure in the box, before Paul
Mullin drove tamely at Lumley.
The Terriers had
the better of the possession in the first 15 minutes of the second half
and the impressive Duane Holmes shot agonisingly wide on the hour mark
with a swerving effort from 16 yards.
Town continued to probe and Rangers had to put in a workmanlike performance to preserve their lead.
Gallen
opted for fresh legs in the 72nd minute when Furlong was replaced by
Jake Downs and, four minutes later, Young made way for David
Fitzpatrick.
Five minutes of added time followed at the death but the R’s duly held on for title glory.
