NICE: A French-Albanian man hid a banned flare in his rectum to smuggle it into a Euro 2016 fan zone where two people were hurt when it was set off, prosecutors said. Pat-down searches at the Nice fan zone before last Wednesday’s match failed to find the 18 cm x 4 cm flare which was reportedly hidden in a condom. The 18-year-old set off the flare in the fan zone in the southern French city during last Wednesday’s game between France and Albania causing burns to two people as well as himself.
