Flamengo Striker Adriano Comes To Blows With Former Girlfriend - Report
The former Inter hitman's party turned sour...
By Salvatore Landolina
According to a report on Globoesporte.com, Machado, a personal trainer, allegedly attacked the player who pushed her away during a scuffle at a party in Rio De Janeiro on Thursday night. Machado was allegedly drunk when she went for the former Inter striker, who was with his several Flamengo team-mates.
Machado then went outside to throw strones at and kick Adriano's car, causing damage. As a result of the fight, the striker was unable to train with Flamengo on Friday and he has not travelled with them to Venezuela where they play Caracas FC in the Copa Libertadores next week.
Adriano's relationship with Machado started in 2008 when he played for Inter, but then came to an end last year. He started to see her again at the start of 2010.
