BREAKING NEWS: RONALDO TEARS KNEE TENDON FOR 3RD TIME
Ronaldo collapsed in the penalty area in agony just minutes after coming on as a substitute in tonight’s 1-1 draw with Livorno.
El Fenomeno was stretchered off the pitch in serious distress and he was in floods of tears. The seriousness of the situation could be seen immediately as the Milan players were clearly shaken up by what they had seen. Ronaldo was immediately rushed to hospital where tests revealed that he had completely severed the tendon in his left knee. The 31-year-old has already suffered this injury twice before, first in 1998 and then in 2002. In total these kept him out of the game for the best part of three years. With this in mind, and also considering the fact that reports yesterday suggested that he was already considering retirement at the end of the season, it seems highly likely that the great career of Ronaldo has come to an end. |

A doctor at the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), who has since been fired, has sensationally claimed that the reason for Ronaldo’s horrific injury problems in recent years is because he was doped as a teenager at PSV Eindhoven. |

Ok, even if it were true that he doped as a teenager, how would anybody know that that was the cause of injuries today?

the suggestion is that they used it to build up his muscle-mass beyond what his joints were naturally able to take at that age, and thus began the process of damaging them. I'm not saying it's true...just thought it was interesting, and an interesting case of "doping doping everywhere" |
