Soccer: Prostitutes admit to police they lied about sex and drugs with Ronaldo Wed. May 07, 2008 01:53 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet)The police said on Tuesday that Transvestite prostitutes lied when they accused AC Milan striker Ronaldo of using drugs and having sex with them during a motel encounter last week. Police inspector Carlos Augusto Nogueira said the prostitutes told police they lied because Ronaldo did not want to pay them after finding out they were men. When first interrogated by authorities after the April 28 encounter with Ronaldo, the prostitutes said the player had sex with them and asked one of them to buy drugs for him. Ronaldo vehemently denied the accusations and said one of the prostitutes tried to extort money from him to keep the story from the media. He said he offered to pay the prostitutes even after finding out they were men, but one of them demanded more than offered. "There was no sex or drugs that night," Nogueira said, adding that one of the prostitutes might still be charged with extortion. Nogueira said the prostitutes fabricated details of the encounter to try to take advantage of Ronaldo's fame. In a nationally televised interview on Sunday, Ronaldo said he was sorry, embarrassed and ashamed for his "stupid act." The three-time Fifa Player of the Year said he "made the stupidest mistake ever." The case quickly made front-page headlines across Brazil and led to speculations whether Ronaldo would lose some of his sponsors.-AP News Category: Sports Latest Headlines Latest News Sudan cuts ties with Chad accusing Chad of back...
