Top Brazilian soccer team Corinthians are having difficulty restricting their players' extra-curricular activities. Striker Vampeta, who made his international debut in September, attended a Sao Paulo photo studio recently to reveal everything for a gay magazine G.

"I'm not gay but I respect other people's options," said the open-minded former PSV Eindhoven player.

Wanderly Luxemburgo, the fantastically-named Corinthians and National coach, said that he had nothing against the modelling session as long as it did not hurt the team.

"I wouldn't buy the magazine because I think Vampeta is very ugly," said Luxemburgo. The magazine has also shown some interest in the coach, who they are trying to persuade to take his kit off for their readers.
