Kiss-and-tell scandals 'dishonour' heroes of the arena. Spain's bullfighters have had enough.
Spain's bullfighters have had enough. The men in the sequinned suits say they are under attack from a new enemy far more frightening than the half-ton bulls they kill or the animal rights activists who want their bloody sport banned.
The enemy who have the matadors trembling in their silk socks and tight trousers have emerged, instead, from the bullfighters' own beds - groupies cashing in on their sexual encounters with a rash of kiss-and-tell stories.
After decades as the country's top male pin-ups with, reputedly, the sort of frenetic sex lives that would put even British Premier League footballers to shame, the matadors claim they are being hounded to death by Spain's prensa rosa , the 'pink press' of gossip magazines and television programmes.
