Well, perhaps victim of his own gullibility.
Brazilian football star Ronaldo has been caught up in a sex scandal with three cross-dressing prostitutes.
The AC Milan striker picked up three prostitutes on Monday in Rio de Janeiro, where he is recovering from knee surgery.
When they all booked into a motel, Ronaldo discovered that the prostitutes were in fact men.
According to Rio police, he alleges that the transvestites then tried to extort money from him.
Local press reports quoted one of the prostitutes, Andreia Albertine - otherwise known as Andre Luiz Ribeiro Albertino - as saying that Ronaldo had threatened to hit him, on discovering that he was a transvestite.
"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."There's a strong chance that Ronaldo has been the victim of extortion."

This doesn't resemble any rehab therapy I'm aware of... I guess Proust wasn't the only one undone by Albertine... lesson for the youth: even if you're planning to become a pro athlete you should pay attention in literature class.

I think you're the only one who's ever integrated Proust into a comment on a sports story. Very nicely done.
