Italian Soccer Club Lazio Fires Falconer For Posting Photos Of His Penis Implant

Lazio has fired the man who handled the Italian soccer club's eagle mascot after he posted photos and videos online of his own prosthetic penis.

Falconer Juan Bernabe shared the images on his private social media accounts after undergoing surgery for a penile implant, which he said was for non-medical reasons.

Bernabe also gave an interview to controversial Italian radio show La Zanzara on Monday and elaborated on his reasons for undergoing the procedure.

Bernabe added that he felt "very proud" and "more masculine" being part of Lazio. The Serie A club clearly did not feel the same as it fired the Spaniard shortly afterward.

"Shocked to see the photographic images and video of Mr. Juan Bernabe and to read the statements that accompanied them, Lazio announces that it has stopped, with immediate effect, all relationship with this person, given the seriousness of his behavior," the capital club said in a statement.
