Ronaldo warned over training

Cristiano Ronaldo has been warned over his conduct after he was pictured training at a football stadium in Madeira during the lockdown.

The 35-year-old was pictured training at the Madeira national stadium and was far from the only person in attendance. Madeira's regional secretary of health, Pedro Ramos, has urged a global superstar to set a good example for others when it comes to social distancing.

"Ronaldo has no special permission to train. Ronaldo has the right to train as long as he respects the rules like all citizens, there is no privilege," Ramos said. "All citizens can leave the house and do so, as long as they do not cause gatherings and maintain a safe distance during the exercise. Therefore, Ronaldo did what we have seen. There was no special authorisation because we are all the same, we are all facing the same pandemic.

"The best player in the world must use his image to set an example, but Cristiano seems to me to have done just a few minutes of exercise and, therefore, there is no harm in the world. I would not like it to be said that it is trivialisation, because we are all responsible."
