AC Milan Star Ronaldo Admits to Picking Up Three Transvestite Prostitutes
Wednesday 30th April 2008
Brazilian football legend Ronaldo was recently involved in a scandal after admitting that he had picked up three prostitutes in Rio de Janeiro.

The AC Milan striker, who recently suffered a potentially career-ending knee injury, picked up the three sex workers recently in the Brazilian seaside city several days ago. Upon arriving at a motel where some shenanigans had been scheduled to occur, the two-time World Cup winner received three rather large surprises.
It seems that Ronaldo’s lovely ladies of the night were actually more like ladyboys of the night. You read that correctly. The World Cup tournament’s all-time leading goal scorer managed to pick himself up not one, not two but three transvestite prostitutes, apparently without realizing any of them were actually men.
Brazilian newspapers are reporting that one of the three men, Andre Luiz Ribeiro Albertino, attempted to blackmail Ronaldo for about £15,000 ($30,000) in exchange for silence about the incident. Albertino, who is now being investigated by police, has since claimed that Ronaldo wasn’t stopped when he discovered his dates were men. He claims that the footballer hit on him even after the truth was revealed.
Brazilian police spokesman Carlos Augusto Nogueira confirmed the extortion attempt, saying that Ronaldo "reported that Andreia had taken his car documents and demanded $30,000 [£15,000]."
He continued: "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.”
A video has surfaced on YouTube that purportedly shows the star with the transvestites. Ronaldo recently discussed the issue with Brazilian station TV Globo. In a statement to the media outlet he said he never used drugs and had been the victim of extortion.
By now you are probably, like most people, a bit suspicious. Sure, sometimes it can be very hard to distinguish a transvestite from a real woman, particularly if they are in preparation for gender reassignment surgery. That being said, picking up three different transvestites is three chances to notice that large Adam’s apple, rather deep voice or faintest hint of a five o’ clock shadow.
I’m sure Ronaldo honestly thought he was just picking up some female hookers and failed to notice any of the telltale signs that they were actually men. Then again, I’d figure one of the biggest football stars in the world would at least go for super attractive women without a hint of manliness about them. I’m not saying Ronaldo is gay, if he says he is straight then he is. I’m just saying that it seems a bit odd that he didn’t notice anything until the clothes came off.
If Ronaldo was a homosexual now would be a good time for him to come out. I must point out that Ronaldo has not made any suggestions that he is gay and we are not suggesting that he is a homosexual, we are just speaking hypothetically here. A new campaign will be launched after the Brighton Equality Walk this Sunday to help stamp out homophobia in football, beginning with the UK. The Justin campaign is named after openly gay footballer Justin Fashanu, the only out homosexual to compete in Britain’s top football leagues. Fashanu killed himself in 1998 after struggling with depression.
The aim of the Justin Campaign is to get the FA to observe Saturday 2nd May 2009 as Justin Fashanu Day. They will also ask Premier League and Football League players to support Justin Fashanu Day by wearing black armbands and observing a minute's silence before matches. The campaign hopes to help eliminate the homophobia that is rampant in the world of professional football, as evidenced by former Juventus manager Luciano Moggi’s recent anti-homosexual comments.
This is a cause all footballers should support, including Ronaldo. You don't need to be gay to believe in human rights.
