Tipsy Pizarro pays price


Bayern Munich's Peruvian striker Claudio Pizarro lost his driving licence for a second time this year on Tuesday after being over the limit in a drink driving test.

Pizarro will be off the road for nine months having already had his licence taken away for a week in March.

The Peruvian international had gone to the world famous beer festival in Munich after the 2-1 victory over Aachen - in which he had scored - on Saturday.

However when he was stopped and tested on his way home he returned a level of 1.1 as opposed to the legal limit of 0.5.

Pizarro will also have to pay a fine to the club, according to general manager Uli Hoeness.
