LAZIO'S exhibitionist falconer has reportedly locked himself in the club's training ground in protest after he was sacked. Juan Bernabe was a much-loved part of the Serie A side, having brought out their eagle mascot Olympia on matchdays since 2010. But his time at Lazio ended earlier this week after he shared explicit photos online.

The 56-year-old underwent surgery for a penile implant to "increase his sexual performance" and revealed the results to his followers on social media. Lazio sacked him as a result - but the saga is far from over. Reports from Corriere dello Sport claim Bernabe has locked himself in his room at the club's Formello training ground and is refusing to leave.
The Spaniard wants to apologise to Lazio president Claudio Lotito in a desperate attempt to win his job back. Bernade has released a statement, saying: "I want to apologise as a man for what happened, I am truly sorry and saddened towards the Italian people.
“Above all, for the parents of minors. My goal was different and they must recognise my mistake. “I apologise to the Lazio fans, who have suffered so much because of me. I apologise to the club and to the President of Lazio. "I hope that when he speaks to me tomorrow he can take into account that children like Olympia a lot, because Olympia is the symbol of Lazio.
“I am the one who matters the least. I did what I could in 15 years at Lazio, now I have ruined everything because of a human error. “I take the consequences because I am a man and I am here to pay. I remain calm about what is going around me, I have two children to raise and what they are saying about me is out of context.
