A top Peruvian player apologised after his public plea for a threesome with a top model and actress caused an outcry. The woman, the star of a popular Latin-American TV programme, had told a chat show she found the goalkeeper «romantically diverting». In response he was quoted as saying: «It is always flattering to be linked with such a girl. I feel a threesome is in order. It will not be a problem to find a third.» Later, with some rapid back-pedalling, he said: «People who know me, the real me, know that I don’t do love in threes. Look, I’m not denying the girls linked to me are alluring – I’m just rather refined.»
