Me, fat? Bah!

Ronaldo weighs 90.5 kgs, just 500 grams above his ideal weight

Ronaldo weighs 90.5 kgs, just 500 grams above his ideal weight

RIO DE JANEIRO: A great Brazilian mystery long shrouded in secret has been resolved. Ronaldo weighs 90.5 kilos, just 500 grams above the ideal weight of a man 1m83m (6’1”) tall, Brazil physical trainer Moraci Sant’anna has revealed.

Sant’anna told Globo News TV that the Real Madrid star, world champion in 2002 but widely accused of now carrying too much around the midriff, had been up to 95 kilos but “now he is close to his ideal weight.”

The issue had become one of state with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva enquiring about the state of the star’s fitness before they opened their World Cup campaign with two unimpressive narrow wins over Croatia and Australia.

“Just as he says I’m fat, everybody knows he drinks too much. It’s as much of a lie that I am fat as it is a lie to say that he drinks too much,” said the 29-year-old who has had an injury-ravaged season but who did at least set up a goal against the Aussies, though the Phenomenon remains tied on 12 World Cup goals with Pele.

Lula sent a fax to the team headquarters saying he had broached the issue not as criticism but as a concerned fan.

Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said last week that Ronaldo was very strong but “his body has changed. He is not the youngster he was in 1994.”
