Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo attended the ESPY Awards in Los Angelas, and once again captured the attention and the imagination of tabloid media.

During his stay in California, British tabloids continued their demonization of Ronaldo, by reporting that the Young football player had been partying at a nightclub by spending 12 thousand euros on liquor, intoxicating himself and parting with his crutches to dance.

Cristiano Ronaldo took offense to the fabricated reports, and has reportedly instructed his lawyers in Portugal and England to take action on the false, and professionally destructive news reports.

Ronaldo’s lawyers told media that the Los Angelas reports of intoxication, are ‘false and absurd’, since Cristiano does not consume alcohol.  They went on to say that Cristiano’s physiotherapist, António Gaspar, accompanied Ronaldo to California, and that his recovery from ankle surgery is progressing well.
