San Lorenzo Defends Youth Residence Following Viral TikTok Exposé

San Lorenzo published a detailed communiqué outlining its nutrition and staffing protocols after a reserve goalkeeper’s unauthorized TikTok video.

Overview

  • The club’s statement named director Marcelo Gatti, vicedirector Luciana Pandullo, nutritionist María Inés Klekl and eight cooks as the core team overseeing its youth residence.
  • San Lorenzo detailed a varied meal plan including multiple breakfast, lunch and dinner options and said diets are adjusted monthly based on body-composition assessments.
  • The communiqué noted that 48 juveniles live at the residence, about 148 people dine at lunch and recent improvements include a renovated gym through a marketing partnership.
  • San Lorenzo described the video as an unauthorized, out-of-context snapshot and pledged to reinforce juvenile support programs and offer guidance on responsible social-media use.
