Mmm … Blood Doping
Good news, Milan fans: Ronaldo is due back in Italy very shortly. Woo hoo! There is, however, the small issue of that treatment he received in Brazil, which hasn't been approved by the Italian Olympic Committee and therefore has him in hot water with The Powers that Be in Italy.
The treatment, which I still don't understand despite help from both Channel 4 and Marco, involves injecting protein strains from Ronaldo's own blood directly into the damaged tissue, a cutting-edge procedure which supposedly encourages healing.
