Chopra dismissed rumours that it was a case of him being led astray by 33-year-old James Bullard, whose contract at former club Hull was cancelled following an alleged incident during the Tigers’ pre-season training camp in Slovenia.
Michael Chopra: “It’s one of those things that happens but I certainly regret it. I have apologised to the manager and the club. I let myself down and other people, including some who have done a lot to help me through my bad times.
“You are always learning in life. I’ve obviously made a few in my life and that was the latest. I shouldn’t have done that, I’ve been punished and I now want to look ahead to what I can achieve here at Ipswich.
"It was my idea to go up to Newcastle and Jimmy said he would come with me. I was trying to get some of the other players to come along as well but they were strong enough to say no and I wish I had been like that as well.”
