Lazio sack falcon handler for sharing photos of his prosthetic penis
Lazio have sacked a man responsible for handling the club's eagle mascot after being left 'shocked' by videos he shared of his own prosthetic penis.
Juan Bernabe has been in charge of the eagle, named Olimpia, since the 2010/2011 season. He flies the bird over the club's Stadio Olimpico ground, becoming a fan favourite with Lazio sitting fourth in the Serie A table.
The 56-year-old was previously suspended by the club in 2021 for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match against Inter Milan. Bernabe was filmed making the salute and chanting "duce, duce", which translates as "leader, leader" and is commonly associated with former fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.
While he returned to his job after that suspension, Bernabe has now been permanently let go by Lazio. He recently underwent medical treatment for a penile implant and revealed the results to followers on social media with a series of videos.
