Ronaldo Flops In Corinthians Fitness Test
Seriously overweight and now last in the Corinthians fitness test. It just cannot get worse for Ronaldo, or can it?

Corinthians striker Ronaldo was put through his paces by the Brazilian club, but those who wanted to see some speed were left bitterly disappointed.
The former Milan and Real Madrid striker offered no encouraging signs during Saturday's fitness session as he struggled, and came last out of the 28 squad members during resistance and speed work exercises.
Ronaldo has been trying hard though, but there is still plenty of work to be done if he is to make a quick return to the pitch.
The hit-man was clearly in difficulty as he came up against his leaner teammates.
His fitness coach Flavio De Oliveira knows the results are not good, but he is still harbouring some hope for the player's future fitness.
"We always knew Ronaldo wouldn't fare as good as the other players," De Oliveira is quoted as saying in Il Corriere Dello Sport.
"However, he will get better with time and we are sure of this. "He just needs plenty of training to recover from his injury."
Ronaldo will also need to watch what he eats. Recent reports have suggested Corinthians are not bothered about the player's diet.
