A FOOTBALL club is under investigation after a stripper was hired to perform for the team minutes before a game.
In the latest sex drama to engulf the sporting world, Prahran has been ordered to appear before the Victorian Amateur Football Association's integrity sub-committee tonight to explain the sordid stunt.
The change-room strip show angered women's lobby groups and is set to turn the spotlight on Aussie Rules after rugby league's week of shame.
Prahran Club XVIII coach Craig Berger said a former player organised the stripper to perform about 30 minutes before a night match against St Bernard's on May 1.
"One of the past players set it up to gee up some of the blokes who were struggling a bit, to stir them up a bit," he said.
Mr Berger said he first became aware of the stunt when the stripper came into the trainers' room.
"The stripper came in and I heard some noise (in the change room) and she was asking for music," Mr Berger said.
"I walked in, and when I realised what was going on I said, 'What's going on here?' and then left the room. They (the players) were fully aware that I wasn't happy about it.
"I think she was only there for a couple of minutes. Only a couple of the guys actually knew about it . . . it didn't last long at all because they knew I wasn't happy about it." Click here to read the full story
