What happened. Argentinian striker Mauro Icardi has been handed a 73-year driving ban for driving without a licence. The ban was triggered after a video posted by his girlfriend China Suarez showed him driving, leading the Argentine Ministry of Transport to investigate and discover his licence had expired.
- The ban lasts until the end of the century.
- Icardi's Italian driving licence was also cancelled despite being valid until 2029.
- He is challenging the suspension and has issued a defiant response on social media.
“Think about fixing the roads to improve traffic flow instead of wasting time writing tweets and scratching your balls.”
— Mauro Icardi
Icardi is now battling the ministry to have the suspension lifted, while also being a free agent after leaving Galatasaray.
