Ronaldo went into hiding after a run-in with cross-dressing prostitutes. The incident prompted police to investigate whether to charge one of the hookers with trying to extort money from the striker. The AC Milan player, in Brazil recovering from a knee surgery, canceled two TV appearances. Police said Ronaldo committed no crime, but he was accused by one prostitute of using drugs and not wanting to pay. Prostitution is legal in Brazil.

He said he didn't know it was a dude until they got to the hotel. Pretty weird story.

Agreed. Makes the accusation of drug use seem pretty likely.

Sounds like the movie The Crying Game.........how embarressing. Didnt Eddie Murphy have this happen too?

Looking at that picture of the dude on Marca, I refuse to believe he didn't know. I guess Ronaldo just wanted to play with a different kind of balls.

Hova - I'm with you there. I've seen some transvestites that looked and sounded like women....on TV, mind you. I'm no expert on trannies but I damn sure wouldn't pay my hard-earned money on a couple of women that ugly. I think he knew they were men, but didn't expect to get caught up in an extortion plot. They got him good too. Even videotaped it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DUX3T49rKPw

How does one explain this to his kids?

Damn, I hate it when you porstitute turns out to be a tranvestite... ;-)

Sorry peoples, My name is Renata I'm brazilian girls and about the case between Ronaldo and the prostitute I don'u have nothing to skeap, but I have a thing to say for you and whole world: PROSTITUTION IS NOT LEGAL IN BRAZIL.

April 30, 2008  03:35 PM ET

I guess Ronaldo sometimes felt like a nut.

April 30, 2008  04:46 PM ET

Renata, apparently it is:

"In Brazil, where prostitution is legal, the government was unwilling to turn its back on a population that's not only among the most vulnerable to HIV but also among the most active in combating it. "Sex workers are part of implementing our AIDS policy and deciding how to promote it," Chequer says. "They are our partners. How could we ask prostitutes to take a position against themselves?""

Brazilian nuts. Great job, Ronaldo. Soccer is gay. This confirmed it even more.

April 30, 2008  05:22 PM ET

hahahahahahahahaha...hilarious. ronaldo needs to keep getting fatter, retire, and return home to nail crossdressers

April 30, 2008  05:29 PM ET

So prostitution is legal in Brazil, yeah whatever, but the guy has a girlfriend! He dropped her off and l then picked up those trannys! What the hell! You know that wasn't his first time he did that. From all the news that I hear surrounding brazilian soccer players this prostitution thing is frequent. That is so dirty!!!! Way to set an example to your son Ronaldo!
