This is Ana Paula Oliveira. She's an Assistant Referee in Brazil and she was recently suspended from officiating in all competitions because she, wrongly, gave an offside decision in a Copa Brasil tie that affected the outcome of the game.
Ms Oliveira assumed that as the CFB had decided to take away her source of income for three months she would pose for Playboy's Brazilian edition. Well there's nothing more likely to enrage a bunch of blazer wearing duffers than the sight of somebody bringing the game into disrepute - Ms Oliveira's crime obviously isn't the topless shots but the fact that she is holding a football - she's been suspended from all football pending an enquiry.
In the interests of balance I tried to find a shot of Mark Clattenberg writhing on the Wembley pitch wearing nothing but an Adidas Premiership ball for cover but none are available, although should he disallow an important goal in the first few weeks of the new season that may all change.

Paul, may I be the first to say I never thought your blog would contain pictures of a Brazilian!
You are, however, quite right to refer to "blazer wearing duffers". The only comfort one can draw is that it's not just this country whose much loved national sport suffers from such a malaise.
Thanks Shy, you've beaten Span to it!
Perhaps I should also point out that the mental images I've been getting of Paul Durkin (the one that Di Canio pushed) have been such that I'm going to need counselling.
The going rate for professional counselling round here is £30/hour so, Paul, I'm afraid you could get lumbered with a four figure bill!! :-)
