REVEALED: RONALDO HAD DOPING TEST AFTER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HAT-TRICK

Sergio Ramos has said that the Ballon d'Or winner's
team-mates were denied the chance to congratulate
him after a thumping victory

Given the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance
against Atletico Madrid, it’s probably only right that
the legitimacy of the display was verified.

The Portugal international striker added to his record
haul of Champions League goals by grabbing a hat-
trick against his side’s near neighbours as they put
one foot in the final thanks to a 3-0 victory at the
Santiago Bernabeu.
Madrid were in rampant mood thanks to Ronaldo, who
headed the opener before the break before finishing
powerfully in the second half. His third was a close-
range finish late on that completed the tie.
And Sergio Ramos confirmed after the match that
authorities had held the attacker back for a routine
random drugs test.
“He had to undergo a doping test, so we couldn’t see
him,” the club captain announced to the media.
“Obviously when Cristiano is in good form, Real Madrid
make the most out of it.
“I want to congratulate him because he is unique.
“When he is playing well, Real Madrid are a different
team.”
Ronaldo, the current Ballon d’Or holder, now has 103
goals in Europe’s top club competition to his name,
while Madrid are bidding to become the first team in
the Champions League era to retain the trophy as
they seek a twelfth title.
