Just when you think the biggest problem in your life is the career threatening knee injury that could bring a premature end to a football career that brimmed with so much early promise, you turn around and find yourself in the middle of a media storm after being arrested in the company of three cross-dressing Brazilian prostitutes amidst claims of theft and extortion. Or you do if you are AC Milan's crocked superstar Ronaldo.

Quite what Ronaldo was doing in the company of the aforementioned "ladies" of the night is a story for another website I fear but you do have to question how a man with so much money, fame and celebrity could ever find himself in a position to be the victim of a driving licence theft and extortion scam by people such as this.

I'm sure the pressure of another major injury hasn't done Ronaldo's mental state any favours but after previous high profile relationships with stunningly attractive women such as ex-wife Milene Domingues or MTV Brasil's Daniela Cicarelli surely Ronaldo can do better than three dodgy blokes dressed up as birds? The mind boggles.
