Ronaldo R9 Special Feature-
Brasilian star Ronaldo has been caught up in a scandal involving three cross-dressing prosititutes this Monday week.
Ronaldo had allegedly just dropped off his girlfriend at her house when he picked up three girls only to discover that they were in fact transvestites.
One of the people involved, Andreia Albertine, videoed the footballer emerging from the motel on her mobile phone's camera and the video has been posted on video-sharing website Youtube.
From here reports and facts are patchy, with some claims that Ronaldo threatened to hit one of the 'girls' who accused him of asking her to buy him drugs according to local press reports.
Ronaldo has hit back firmly denying he has ever using drugs, and reiterated that he was a victim of extortion.
Technically, under Brasilian Law Ronaldo has done nothing wrong - prostitution is legal - so it seems that although perhaps not morally correct - ronaldo r9 is
in fact a victim of crime.Ronaldo, according to Rio police superintendent Carlos Augusto Nogueira, "reported that Andreia had taken his car documents and demanded 30,000 dollars".
Nogueira added: "Ronaldo admits the facts. He said he just wanted to amuse himself, that's not a crime. To pay to have sexual relations isn't illegal.
Albertino is also accused of taking Ronaldo's documents and threatened to extort the Brasilian star $30,000.
Ronaldo R9 who is currently out with a serious knee injury has also stated he is having psychological problems associated with his injury.http://ronaldo-r9.blogspot.com/2008/02/ronaldo-injures-knee-again-milan-vs.html
Regardless of any problems, what is clear is that Ronaldo has taken a fine line here by hiring a call girl and this has turned into a PR disaster for a the footballer.
Youtube and Brasilian press have been quick to catch on this story - whilst on the BBC news wesbite - it is the #1 story in the world as of 29/04/08.
