The 20-year old woman, Adriene Cyrilo Pinto, reported that the forward was playing with a gun belonging to a friend, when it accidently discharged and shot her in the hand.

Lancenet! report that Adriano is believed to have told police that it was his security guard and not him in possession of the fire-arm, whilst the incident took place in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Adriano may have won the league title at Corinthians this campaign, but this is just another remarkable incident in the life of Adriano who appears unable to recover his former levels of professionalism.
