Last Thursday Bixente Lizarazu ran through the Hotel Royal completely nude, his only covering was a piece of paper over his privates that bore his newly promoted club’s initials ‘ETG’.
Following their raise in rankings to the second division, the shareholder of now Ligue 1 club Evian Thonon Gaillard promised to run through the streets of Evian stark naked. The former French defender almost fulfilled his claim, choosing instead of the cold streets, to run through a plush hotel and have a photographer capture the moment.
Danone owns the team, their CEO Gustavo Valle is close friends with shareholders Lizarazu and Zidane, however neither joined their fellow stockholder in the stripped sprint.
