The backside in the training camp: a scandal during the winter training camp in Turkey accelerated Effenberg’s downfall in Paderborn. Striker Nick Proschwitz exposed both his genitals and his backside in the sports bar of a five-star hotel in Belek in the presence of a female staffer from the organising agency. Proschwitz was thrown out of the squad; Effenberg followed on 1 March 2016.
