I know Ronaldo still looks a little big in these pictures as he trains with the Corinthians. For some reason I just don’t think we’ll ever see Ronaldo as slim as we would like him to be.

People have to remember that Ronaldo’s body structure is clearly not as it was ‘back in the day’.
Whatever Ronado was doing in those two years of rehab has certainly made him become huge. Look at his hamstring muscles, they look like they’re going to explode.
I’m still under the impression that the brazillian doctor who was fired was correct about stereoid use. For someone to be that small, and then become tall and physically imposing is not that common.
Still an amazing player, but with a different body
You’re right FJD. I think this steroids destroyed his career. He lost about 4 years of football due to long-term injuries. Yet he is still one of the best. For those who doesn’t know the steroid story, read here :

yes but he not just bulky and muscly, he is fat, and that is from drinking smoking and eating too much whilst he has been injured. we have all seen the pics, he even admitted his diet was poor, and now he has a beer belly.
Also correct pioneer!
A combination of the two. I have also read that ronaldo suffers from hypothyroidism which does answer why its hard for him to lose weight.

I would say that I have the same sort of body fat that Ronaldo shows at the moment, and I do no excerise whatsoever and I go to mcdonalds a lot!.
Again, take a look at the picture of Ronaldo in the headline “ronaldo left on the bench” on the ronaldohome main page. Look at the size of this ankle bones where they disapear into his socks. They remind me of someone starving in africa but the muscle mass everywhere is covering his small frame.
I feel really bad for him, looking at his agility when at Inter, compared to his agility after 2002. admittely though, 2002 ronaldo was probably the best physical condition he could be in and showed the same agility, if a tiny little bit slower when jogging.
guys ok we knw he is fat but instead of saying that he became more huge we have to support him after all we r his fans not his ennemies …
It’s frustrating to think that maybe someone gave him steroids which he didn’t need and now it’s causing him all kinds of problems. Even when he was smaller he was still The Phenomenon. Grr
That is really sad giving someone like Ronaldo steroids to allow him to compete. It has really upset me and if he wasn’t given steroids what kind of player he would have been. Especially when you think about all the years he lost but he still managed to hold so many records and win so many awards.
We love you Ronnie

he is capable of being fit, and in shape, steroids is no excuse as he was able to be fit before, this pic was july 07, when he was at milan, it was well documented that on arrival to milan he had to dhift weight and he did it with flying colours.

he has this belly due to drinking and eating poorly, smoking probably didn’t help. he needs to help himself, the coach can do whatever he likes in training but as soon as training is over it is up to ronaldo and ronaldo only to eat like a professional athlete.
If he has hypothyrodism it’s IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight. Its almost like eating a sandwich and it collapsing straight into your stomach fat still in shape.
Right now we can only guess what he’s problems are and were. I just hope gets back to playing. He actually looks thinner and its noticeable on his face.
P.S. Steroids will grow your muscle but you can still burn it off by a lot of running and dieting.
go Ronaldo…
I completely agree with you TarekR9. We should support Ronaldo instead of critisizing him.
I BELIVE IN YOU RONALDOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
his gastronemic muscles (behind lower leg) seem wider and larger
We will support you
we believe in you Ronaldo
He is just a legend and the only player i will ever look up to!
i hope to see him in the 2010 world cup!!

just been on globoesporte homepage and saw this, almost made made want to cry
don’t give up ron
just read the article, and it said he was the star of the show in training scoring 3 goals, and showing great signs, it also says his body fat is down to 10.7% considered very good for top athletes,
the pic kind of disagrees but ronnie must be confident again to openly take his shirt off
my Portuguese isn’t great but i’m sure it was along those lines
good news
RONALDO DON’T COMEBACK IF UR NOT 200 PERCENT READY. ICAN NOT BEAR TO SEE U PLAY LIKE A FAT OLD MAN.. I WANT TO SEE U LIKE 2002.PLLLZAZZZZZZ
AND PLZ CUT UR HAIR LIKE BEFORE…U R PHENOMENA AND HAD THE BALD HEAD AS A SIGNATURE OF THE R9 WORLD GOALS. I WANT TO SEE U BALD AGAIN.
