Cristiano Ronaldo's mother says tried to abort the football star

Cristiano Ronaldo's mother Dolores Aveiro has unveiled in her autobiography that she had tried to abort Ronaldo when she was pregnant.

Dolores Aveiro said that her doctor refused to help her with the abortion and she had turned to home recipes of drinking warm beer and frantic exercise.

“I wanted to abort but the doctor didn’t support my decision,” she disclosed in her book.

Aveiro explain she drank warm ale (warm beer) and “ran till she dropped” without achieving her aim.

Mrs Aveiro revealed that Ronaldo knew of her secret but had made jokes about the incident.

She confessed:  “He told me when he found out, ‘Look mum, you wanted to abort and now I’m the one who’s pulling the purse-strings in the house'”

Ronaldo, regarded widely as one of the best footballers in the world today, failed to inspire Portugal in the FIFA World Cup as they were ousted in the group stages.
