So you all remember how Ronaldo's weight was always an issue and always a matter of ridicule....well it turns out that Ronaldo's weight issues were due to a pituitary gland deficiency which makes his body gain considerable weight. Milas has identified this and they are saying he has already lost close to 10 pounds, in a short span...

I think it is an apology that at least half of Spain if not half of Brazil owe this man. It was outside of his control, yet he got crucified for it....IMO him and Zidane the two Great players of the past generation to be counted amongst the best ever

Chuck Norris would have destroyed that disease

Not if Mr. T stood in his way.

Good for Ronaldo.

This shows the quality of Milan's medical team.

My gripe with his weight is not exactly the fact that he's overweight, but his (and the Brazilian FA's) failure to admit it. I don't think people owe any apology to him. He was fat, due to illness, pies or whatever, and he was playing crap because of it.

Source please

Hehe, love how the guy is getting all high and mighty on everyone :D

Don't be surprised if you'll hear that Ronaldinho and Adriano also have a pituitary gland deficiency.

I don't get it, if it's that, then he's had it all his life, and how does one go through his entire life without finding that out? Especially an athlete. That aside, he wasn't always fat, it was a more recent thing, and I think that's what had people complaining.

The source is in spanish if ya'll dont mind here it is:

Maybe Ronaldinho. As for Adriano, his problems are or will be more related to his liver...

interesting.....most likely has something to do with all the 'roids that the PSV staff pumped him up with as a youth to pack on the muscles necessary to withstand the physicality of the European game.....

yeah he looked in good shape in the pictures i saw a while ago, I wonder why it wasn't found earlier.

If I remember reading somewhere correctly, it was this pill that he was taking that was causing him the weight problems.

So hopefully now it's all settled and we'll see again the best striker ever strut his stuff for Milan (Y)

Soccer tabloids are rampant. Asking for a source is high and mighty? :S

Not you man, the original poster :D

Yeah, me too. Far too little is said about cosmetics, cosmetics beauty and make up cosmetics.

I like to have seen discussion of this topic in this forum

Thank you God
I am glad we are worthy of You

Chuck Norris would have destroyed that disease

chuck norris would have a heart attack and die for trying to lay a punch/kick

For that you shall burn in hell.

Thank you for that.
