Brazilian football star in court to counter alleged drug-gang ties - CNN.com: "preliminary hearing, Rio de Janeiro state prosecutor Alexandre Themistocles interrogated the stand-out striker, who goes by only one name as do many Brazilian footballers, over his alleged relationship with Fabiano Atanasio da Silva, one of Brazil's most wanted drug suspects.
According to law enforcement agencies in Rio de Janeiro, da Silvia is a drug kingpin who rules many of Rio's slum neighborhoods with an iron fist.
Investigations against Adriano were launched after Rio de Janeiro's O Dia newspaper published photos of the footballer posing with da Silva while making a hand gesture that is commonly known to represent a drug gang known as Commando Vermelho, or the Red Command."
sports and drugs must always remain separate for the sake of both to flourish...
