Milan's Ronaldo has hypothyroidism

MILAN, Italy (AP) - Ronaldo's weight problem is due to a medical condition called hypothyroidism.

AC Milan has prescribed drugs to combat the Brazil striker's under-active thyroid, and advised the Italian Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Association, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported Friday.

"You'll see (him) soon, very soon. It will be a surprise for everyone. He looks like a model," Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said.

Ronaldo was criticized for being overweight during his four and a half seasons with Real Madrid. He transferred to Milan in January.

Ronaldo arrived at a training camp this season weighing 95.5 kilograms (211 pounds). He's currently down to 90 kilograms (198 pounds). The goal is to reach 87-88 kilograms (192-194 pounds) - his weight when he began playing for Inter Milan 10 years ago.

"He's going to have a great season," Ancelotti said. "He's very motivated, he really wants to show that he's still the best striker in the world."

Ronaldo currently has a muscle problem in his left knee and is expected to miss Milan's first few matches this season.

He can play for Milan in the Champions League this season after sitting out the team's victory in the competition last season because he began the season with Madrid.

like 17 lbs making ah real big difference...welll they are the experts

biology lesson

The thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. This gland is found in the neck just below the Adam's apple. The thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy, makes proteins, and how sensitive the body should be to other hormones.

Thyroid hormone - Cruise Control for the Body
The thyroid gland's role in the body is very similar to cruise control in the car. Cruise control keeps a car running at a constant steady speed. When we do not want to worry about having to keep a steady foot on the accelerator we turn on cruise control and the car maintains a normal speed without any effort. Thyroid hormone keeps the rest of the body working at the right speed. If thyroid hormone levels decrease, cells throughout the rest of the body decrease in activity. As a result the cells need less energy and thus more energy is available to be stored and the weight increases even though the appetite decreases. Less heat is produced, the person becomes cold, and the sweat glands do not keep the skin moist anymore. The brain just wants to sleep all the time. The heart beats slower. The bowels become sluggish. Everything slows up.
