Ronaldo Wore Diapers During 1999 Tournament

Apparently Ronaldo had a little help when he scored 5 goals and won the Golden Boot during the 1999 Copa America Tournament...Although it might not be the kind you were thinking.  According to former Brazilian National Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Ronaldo wore diapers during the tournament due to  incontinence. Luxemburgo stated that Ronaldo was having a hard time controlling his weight, and diet pills were the only answer.



“The [team] doctor gave him the medicine, Xenical, which was effective, but it also accelerated his bowel movements. So, in order to avoid any “incidents,” the player had to wear diapers, which embarrassed him.”
