Lazio has dismissed falconer Juan Bernabe after he shared explicit post-surgery photos on social media, causing a stir among fans.
Rome: So, here’s the scoop. Juan Bernabe, the falconer for Lazio, got himself into hot water. He posted some pretty risqué photos after having surgery to enhance his manhood on his private Instagram. Fans caught wind of it and started sharing the screenshots.
Bernabe, who’s been with Lazio for 15 years, is the guy who takes care of their eagle mascot, Olimpia. You know, the one that flies over the stadium before games. But after this whole photo fiasco, Lazio decided to let him go.
In a radio chat, Bernabe shrugged off the backlash, saying nudity is just part of life for him. He grew up in a naturist family and doesn’t see what’s so scandalous about his post. He even claimed he had the surgery to boost his performance and that he’s quite active.
This isn’t the first time Bernabe has stirred the pot. Back in 2021, he was suspended for doing a fascist salute after a match. He’s had some controversial views, even expressing admiration for Mussolini. So, it seems like this guy has a knack for getting into trouble.
