Brazil legend Ronaldo: Sex before matches does not affect performance
Posted Thursday, October 27, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Former Brazil striker Ronaldo has claimed that sex does no harm on a player's performance, while masturbation ruins fitness levels.
The recently-retired World Cup-winner spoke to Sport about his past experiences in football off the field, insisting that acts of sexual intercourse do not negatively impact on a player, but personal pleasure increases fatigue.
"Nobody can prove that sex affects performance on the field," said Ronaldo. "[However], masturbation is more tiring."
He then spoke about an incident during the 1997 Copa America, where he confessed to fleeing from Brazil's hotel base without permission with team-mate Romario, in a perfectly planned scheme.
"In 1997, during Copa America, Romario convinced me to escape with him from the hotel," admitted Ronaldo. I had to jump over a wall, have a ladder prepared and a taxi booked to take us away. It was all handled very intricately, but I cannot give any more details," joked the former Inter star.
