Claudio Lotito insists he won’t forgive former Lazio falconer Juan Bernabè and says that showing videos of a penile implant was ‘worse’ than making a fascist salute.

Lazio sacked Bernabé earlier this week after he had shown images of his penile implant on social media.

Bernabé also spoke about the operation and his sexual life during the radio show La Zanzara, hosted by Lazio fan Giuseppe Cruciani.

He said, among other things, that he is in an open relationship, so he has sex with different women and must “ejaculate at least twice a day.”

Lotito also spoke to La Zanzara, as quoted by Gazzetta, insisting that he won’t forgive Bernabé.

“There’s no forgiveness. Would you demand pardon after killing a person?” said the Lazio President.

“I’ve been in football for 20 years, trying to extirpate some things from this environment. I want an etic and simple football. The Curva also wrote a harsh statement against Bernabé. Do you think I’ve asked them to do so?

“Somebody who behaves like this can’t go to school to meet the kids. Obviously, we’ll claim for damages. Both he and the urologist have lost their minds.”

The operation was performed by urologist Gabriele Antonini, who was part of Lazio’s medical staff and was also sacked by the club.

“The doctor used Bernabé to get exposure, and in fact, he has received several requests to undergo these types of operations,” Lotito added.

“Our contracts state that whoever violates the club’s ethics must leave. Bernabé said he has an open relationship and has sex with multiple women. How can he represent us in the schools? He should represent a brothel, not Lazio.”

The eagle handler previously made headlines by making a fascist salute before a Lazio game. In that case, he was only suspended for a few matches.

“Perhaps the Roman [fascist] salute is worse at your home but not mine,” said Lotito.

“Nobody complained about the operation, but he can’t associate these actions with Lazio.”

Bernabé’s sacking means no eagle will fly above the Olimpico before Lazio’s home matches, but Lotito said the tradition will be restored soon.

“There are no problems; there are so many options. With Lotito, the result is granted,” he concluded.
