Well I can now reveal that this is not just a quirky underwear choice, those pink ribbons are in fact “an innovative and highly effective modality for treating sport injuries and aiding lymphoedema reduction”. It is Kinesio Tape.

In his early days, Bale would wear lycra support shorts under his football kit. A modern athelete, who takes care of himself, he was aware early on of preventative methods for the avoidance of muscle tears and strains. Kinesio Tape is just a more advanced system for strapping up those valuable thighs.
