Between this and the beating with a prosthetic leg story, I really wonder what kind of discipline football players are being taught. The conduct of some of them has gone straight down the crapper.

Johnson scam goes down the pan
Portsmouth's on-loan England defender Glen Johnson has been fined for stealing bathroom fittings from a hardware store in Kent.
Johnson, on a season-long stay from Chelsea, and Millwall striker Ben May were caught at B&Q in Dartford on Wednesday.
The pair were spotted by a security guard putting a toilet seat into a box with a cheaper price tag before they reached the checkout, according to reports.
They also avoided paying for a set of taps by concealing them underneath a sink at the checkout.
A worker at the store told The Sun: "We all recognised Johnson. No one could quite believe a bloke like him, with all that money, would be moronic enough to nick a toilet seat. But that's what him and May were doing.
"They were spotted by one of our security guards, a chap of 74, and cops arrived as they were trying to leave.
"They seemed to find the whole thing funny and couldn't stop smirking even after they had been arrested."
A Kent Police spokesman said: "Kent Police arrested two 22-year-old men on Wednesday on suspicion of theft in Dartford.
"Both men have been issued with £80 fixed penalty notices."
Gary Double, Portsmouth's director of communications, said: "We won't be making a statement."
A Millwall spokeswoman also refused to comment.
