Ronaldo went into hiding Tuesday after a run-in with cross-dressing prostitutes. He canceled two TV appearances and local media said he will continue physiotherapy at his home.Prostitution is legal in Brazil.
Ronaldo told police he knew they were prostitutes but did not realize they were cross-dressers until getting to a motel. That is where Ronaldo says one of them tried to extort money from him to hide the story from the media.
Police said one of the prostitutes "fled" from the police station during questioning.
A brief video clip of Ronaldo at the motel apparently recorded by one of the prostitutes with a cell phone became a big hit in Brazil after being posted on the YouTube Web site.
Ronaldo reportedly was celebrating Flamengo's 1-0 victory over rival Botafogo in the first leg of the Rio de Janeiro state final that he attended at Maracana stadium on Sunday.
Ronaldo has won two World Cups with Brazil, including the in 2002 when he scored eight goals, including two in the final against Germany.
