Italian club sues volleyball player after she became pregnant.
An Italian volleyball player has been sued by her club for breach of contract after she got pregnant, in a case that has triggered an outcry in Italy.
Lara Lugli was sacked by Volley Pordenone in March 2019 after she told club executives she was expecting a baby.

She also requested back payment of her salary from February, the month before she discovered she was pregnant, during which she had played and trained with the club as normal.
