Posing Nude for Playboy won’t Advance your Refereeing Career

She has become an international star (or at least a star on the blog circuit) but she will not be a star in international football matches. The Brazil Football Federation has dropped Ana Paula Oliveira from the list of referees eligible for international competitions.

Unfortunately that means the international audience will have to get our fix by looking at her pictures. Poor us.
