Brazilian police quiz Ronaldo over Internet drugs case

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Brazilian football superstar Ronaldo held talks with local police in connection with a drug trafficking case.

Police investigator Luiz Marcelo Xavier told Globo television that the Real Madrid striker's testimony distanced himself from any possibility of him having taken part in the sale of drugs over the Internet.

Ronaldo's name was dragged into the police probe by the brother of his former girlfriend, Brazilian model Livia Lemos.

Amon Lemos, 19, one of 13 people arrested for selling drugs over the net, apparently played up an encounter with Ronaldo - and another with Brazilian singer Gabriel Pensador - to help boost his business, Xavier said.
