Michael Owen says diving a widespread problem

Former England striker Michael Owen says diving is "a widespread problem" throughout world football.

Owen's current manager Tony Pulis has called for the Football Association to punish Liverpool's Luis Suarez for diving after an incident during Stoke's 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.

Owen adds that he believes a player code of conduct would be a good idea but does not want footballers banned from using social media.
