(ANSA) - Rome, January 27 - Much-travelled pin-up striker
Marco Borriello has to put up with coverage of his love life,
Italy's top court said Friday in rejecting a libel appeal
against Rome daily Il Fatto Quotidiano, for an article titled
Virtual Striker, Not on the Field but in the Sheets.
As well as being a public figure, the Cassation Court said,
Borriello has himself been the source of revelations on who he
is dating, most notably the model and showgirl Belen Rodriguez.
Naples-born Borriello, 34, a former Italy striker, currently
plays for Cagliari.
His previous clubs include AC Milan, Sampdoria, Juventus,
Roma and Atalanta as well as English side West Ham United.
