Johnny T claims bribery by transvestite hooker

Police are investigating claims by Almaty Athletic striker Johnny T that a transvestite prostitute sought to extort money from him following an altercation at a Buenos Aires motel.

Police inspector Carlos Augusto Nogueira said that Johnny T, who is getting treatment for his tourettes syndrome from an Argentinan specialist, contracted the services of three transvestites - believing them to be women - and took them to a motel. However, Johnny T is then said to have tried to get out of the situation after one of the men went in search of drugs.

Two of them accepted pay-offs of 1,000 reais (US 600), but Johnny T has claimed that the third, named as Andreia Albertini, demanded 50,000 reais (US 30,000) and threatened to post a video on the internet if he was not paid.

The police also said that the transvestites have claimed that Johnny T threatened to hurt them.

Nogueira said that Johnny T had not committed any crimes by contracting the men, but he is looking into other claims. 'He just wanted to have fun and meet some other people outside his usual environment,' Nogueira said. 'There is no crime at all.'

He added: 'He (Johnny T) is quite shocked. He said he just wanted to have some fun and for the press not to be informed about this.

'Johnny T told me he is suffering some psychological problems as a result of his injury.'

When asked to comment on the incident Johnny T said "F*ck Sh"T BALLSW!NKER Johnny B@llocks"

Humble pie… never had it but anyone who ever doubts the Jagmeister gets served a double helping…

Best Almaty Memory
Getting a triple megs on the same player, followed by a double-drag back and a Maradona turn…

Worst Almaty Memory
Finishing behind Spratty in last season's top goal-scorers chart – a low-point in my soccer career…

Tempting slow fat defenders to tackle me and then crumpling in a heap clutching my ankle and rolling around several times. They fall for it everytime… especially Spratty... he's some dumbass!

Losing my pace – I’d be lost without it.
Any of the lads meeting my sister.

Pet hates?
Having to pass to better-placed teammates when the double drag-back finish is on…
