I STAND CORRECTED...:
Ronaldo 'threatened transvestites in Rio motel room' (Sally Peck, 29/04/2008, Daily Telegraph)
Brazilian police are investigating allegations by three transvestites that Ronaldo, the Brazilian football star and AC Milan forward, threatened to harm them after he took them to a Rio de Janeiro motel.

If nothing else, the current pecadilloes of Rogroid prove that it's extremely ill-advised to file a defamation suit. Your whole life is fair game once you lawyer-up.
Besides, the worst thing Ronaldo has to hear from henceforth is comparisons from the "My D--K" rap song.

For about 5 years in the late 1990's, though, he was the most exciting player in soccer, with a rediculous combination of skill, power and speed.
But for a series of knee injuries, and a somewhat suspicious collapse in the 1998 World Cup final, he might have been one of the greats of the ages.
