Rugby Player Suspended By Club After Partying In Vegas With Zlatan

Rugby Player Suspended By Club After Partying In Vegas With Zlatan

If you're going to get suspended, do it in style

When Italian prop Martin Castrogiovanni informed management at Racing 92 that he had to return to Argentina for family reasons, he must have thought he'd committed the perfect crime. Instead of attending the family emergency he'd invented to fool his bosses, Castrogiovanni was actually jetting out to Las Vegas to shoot craps and ogle bikini clad women with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

There was just one thing Castrogiovanni didn't bank on, and that was paparazzi following one of the world's most recognisable footballers to Sin City and catching the Racing prop bunking off.


Having seen the incriminating evidence, Racing have acted quickly and suspended the Italian international. We're not sure whether the suspension is for Castrogiovanni's lying or the sheer stupidity he has displayed in not thinking he'd be spotted alongside one of the world's most famous sport stars.

That being said, if you're going to get suspended, you may as well do it in style, and Castrogiovanni has certainly done that.
