A Florida man has been identified as the ‘Super Bowl striker’ who ran on the field during the 2021 Super Bowl.
Police have charged Yuri Andrade, 31, of Boca Raton, Florida, with trespassing after interrupting the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LV between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Andrade was wearing shorts and a pink swimsuit as he ran across the field before finally being tackled by security at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
The Associated Press reports Andrade was released early Monday morning after posting $ 500 bail, according to Hillsborough County jail records.
WFLA reports Andrade was planted during the match by social media personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy to promote an adult website called Vitaly Uncensored, written on Andrade’s pink string swimsuit. The Houston Chronicle reports Zdorovetskiy is the same joker who ran on the field during the 2017 World Series and on the track during the 2014 NBA Finals.
It is unclear whether Zdorovetskiy can get charges for his involvement.
Online rumors began to circulate on Monday, claiming that Andrade may also have made big money by betting a prop on himself. According to Sideline Daily, Andrade was spotted at J. Alexander’s restaurant in Tampa around noon on Monday, and Andrade allegedly claimed to have bet $ 50,000 on a stick bet at +750 that there would be a streak at the Super Bowl – which would have brought him $ 375,000.
“Dudes are good at math,” Andrade wrote on Instagram, along with a screenshot of the betting claim.
Covers.com Reporter Las Vegas Patrick Everson said a spokesman for a global sports book told him the claims were probably not true.
‘No book with the mind will take $ 50,000 limit on it. Nowhere near, ”the spokesperson said. “If there was one, I would have been right next to him in a pink tutu.”
