Official - Ronaldo tenderloin served
Wednesday 13 February, 2008
Milan have now confirmed Ronaldo has served the beef tenderloin in his suburban Milan house, effectively making him even fatter.
The striker prepared the massive 50 pounds of beef tenderloin after he jumped to reach a baker's dozen of donuts after tonight’s 1-1 draw with Livorno and immediately the situation seemed to be serious.
His teammates waved for medical staff and called him fat as he was laying on the dinner table in a puddle of tears.
Ronaldo was rushed to a Jenny Craig to undergo tests and initial reports suggesting he had completely consumed the entire amount of tenderloin were confirmed on the official Rossoneri website.
Ronnie has already devoured this amount of food twice before in 1998 and 2000, but that was when the player was actually good.
As there was talk of a possible retirement at the end of this season, if Ronaldo continues to eat massive amounts of food after match days, Milan will be forced to sack the player.
If Milan decide to cut Ronaldo's contract, the Rossoneri will have to compensate Ronaldo with a life's supply of Krispy Kreme donuts for 25 families.

Medics: Ronnie will return Thursday 14 February, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The future may look bleak for Ronaldo, but there is optimism amongst medical experts and Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is confident of a return.
The former Real Madrid hitman flew to Paris at 9am this morning to receive surgery on a severed tendon in his knee amongst fears that his career is over.
Accompanied by compatriot and Milan official Leonardo, club medic Massimiliano Sala and fiancée Maria Beatriz, Ronnie was applauded by a group of fans as he left hospital.
“Ronaldo himself asked to be operated on by the same team in Paris who reconstructed his right knee eight years ago,” club doctor Pierre Meeserman explained.
“The procedure was excellent eight years ago and surgical technology has only improved.”
“If things go according to plan he can return to being a great player, but it is hard to put a time scale on that,” respected sports doctor Walter Pascale commented.
While the nation’s Press have prepared obituaries to Ronaldo’s career, Pietro Volpi – Inter doctor between 1995 and 2000 – thinks it is premature to bid farewell to Il Fenomeno.
“It is a very serious injury, but it can be repaired and technology has made huge steps in recent times,” he told Sky Tg24.
“A recovery will probably take between eight and 10 months, but I wouldn’t be so pessimistic about Ronaldo’s future.
“The real problem is that he is eight years older than he was in 2000 and that makes it harder to get to peak condition in sport.”
Rossoneri President Silvio Berlusconi, a committed admirer of the three-time FIFA World Player of the Year – is determined that Ronnie can quickly make a full recovery.
“I spoke to him on the telephone last night and I told him to believe in himself as he has such a great physical capability,” he said on Unomattina.
“At 31-years-old he is still young and I think that he can return in a number of months to being the champion of old. Everyone in the sporting community hopes that is the case.”
