VIENNA, May 8 (Reuters) - Austria Vienna's mascot, a purple-cloaked lion called "Super Leo", has been ruled out for the rest of the season after being led off the pitch in an apparent drunken stupor at their last game.
The hapless mascot was included on the club's official list of injuries and suspensions for their match against Sturm Graz on Saturday. After detailing the players and their injuries, the document said: "Super Leo will be out for the rest of the season as he is feeling under the weather."
Austria media said that the man who wears the Super Leo outfit turned up for last Saturday's match worse for wear after celebrating his 42nd birthday.
