    Wait ... Adriano is being accused of some drug guys use 2 of his bikes (or they were gifts) for whatever drug activities and he can get 25 years for that ? And Ze' Dirceu is out serving less than 1 year ? ...

    Were the photos they were showing on the news of him holding the fuzil and doing the CV new? Or were they from the last time he got called out in the media for this?

    Nota Imprensa: Adriano Leite Ribeiro

    “Esse é um momento que tenho que desabafar. Não abri minha boca quando saiu essa notícia absurda. Fiquei sabendo assim que cheguei ao Brasil, por uma mensagem da minha assessoria.

    Milhões de matérias e notas falsas, uns até falaram que eu já estava condenado e sem passaporte! Será que essas pessoas têm família? Será que essas pessoas entendem que estão falando de um ser humano? Será que essas pessoas imaginam o que foi para os meus filhos verem isso tudo?
    E agora? Qual será a próxima para aparecerem através da minha imagem?
    Eu sabia que tudo daria certo, pois não devo nada para ninguém, sou honesto, pago meus impostos e tenho orgulho da minha origem!
    Deus é mais que isso!
    Agradeço à minha família, ao meu procurador Luiz Claudio Menezes, à minha assessora Renata Battaglia que, como sempre, estiveram ao meu lado o tempo inteiro. Graças a Deus, apesar desses obstáculos que tentam colocar na minha vida, tenho pessoas que “são por mim” ao meu lado”.

    Nope. Apparently the club is being bought but there has been an issue. The new owner is the one that wants Adriano.

    His son is even frustrated that he doesn't play anymore, it's becoming really sad now.
    Os dois têm os pais como grandes ídolos para seguirem no futebol. Adrianinho, inclusive, gostaria de ter novas chances de assistir ao Imperador em campo. E contou que faz esse pedido diariamente, apesar de ter pouca esperança.

    - Peço...Peço muito. Direto. Ele fala que vai tentar voltar, que vai viajar para ver onde vai jogar... para treinar lá. Mas ele só quer ficar na festa, faltar treino. Então... Nem fala. Eu brigo com ele. Fica nervoso - disse Adrianinho, que se intitula como “o mais bagunceiro” da escolinha e mostrou “rivalidade” com Enzo.

    I read that, too. His son says he cheers for Corinthians because that's the first place he remembered seeing his dad "play." I felt even worse because his son really didn't experience ANY of his good days, not even 2009 @ Fla.

    It will be fun and ridiculous to see him and Ronaldinho Gaucho in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks...
    Hey, they are paying the air fare, hotel, limos, drinks and gambling chips at the casinos!!!

    "Demos inúmeras chances para o Adriano reverter uma situação, mas aí vem a frase que vocês não gostam, que é a tal da coerência, da convicção e do comprometimento. Chegou um momento no qual eu precisei tomar uma decisão pensando no coletivo." (We gave countless chances to Adriano to revert the situation, but here comes the sentence you do not like, which is that of coherence, conviction, and commitment. A moment arrived in which I needed to make a decision thinking of the collective.)

    Dunga during live press conference in which he divulged the final roster for Brazil's 2010 World Cup team

    It's so sad that Adriano just spiraled into lower and lower depths. I will never forget how I lost my voice 12 years ago after he equalized against Argentina in stoppage time, and neither will I forget that missile-like scorcher that helped Brazil bury the 2004 European Championship winner Greece at the 2005 Confederations Cup.

    Although he played for SPFC in 2008 and did well for Flamengo in 2009, with just enough concentration and hard work, he would have been in great shape in mid-2010. Dunga did give him more than a few chances, and he did contribute during qualifying. But Dunga made the right call. He preferred players who had proven through performance and commitment that they were solely focused on the Copa do Mundo championship. We all know what happened in South Africa, but I don't blame Dunga for that choice.

    Had Adriano demonstrated, on a consistent basis, the professionalism that Kaká, Ramires, or Maicon showed during that period - had Adriano's personal life been in control and thus a positive, rather than negative, factor on his professional life - Adriano would most likely have been a pivotal component of our 2010 World Cup team. At the young age of 28, he was at his prime. And then, who knows?

    Sad. I only hope he straightens out his personal life. At 34, he's got little time to play. It'd be sad to see him devolve and end up like Garrincha.

    And this is far above his bottom. Last year his 10 year old son had choice words for him.
