Mario Balotelli allegedly peed on teammates' boots at Inter

To the surprise of absolutely nobody with an intimate knowledge of Liverpool whiz kid Mario Balotelli, the Italian international has been accused of some heinous activities by former teammate Kerlon.

Balotelli, 25, who is currently injured and on loan at AC Milan from the Merseysiders, has been implicated in yet another controversial story that was leaked to the media by the Brazilian he played with at Inter Milan from 2008-10.

"Balotelli is a very nice guy and an extraordinary person, but he did some unbelievable things off the pitch," Kerlon told ESPN Brazil, as translated by the Daily Mail. "He had a habit of arriving at training before anyone else and peeing on all the players' boots … it was very funny."

While regrettable, the act is not nearly as horrific as the time he threw darts at academy players while at Manchester City, or when he caused £400,000 worth of damage using fireworks inside his home.

And it's difficult to imagine the 33-time capped Azzurri endeared himself to teammates at Inter by peeing on their boots.
