pleasure of winning the Ballon d'Or has been
ruined by speculation over his tax affairs.
Instead of basking in the glory of his fourth Ballon
d'Or triumph on Monday, Ronaldo lamented claims
of tax avoidance among numerous high-profile
players in LaLiga and elsewhere as the allegations
take their toll on the Portugal captain.
Gestifute, the company operated by Ronaldo's
agent Jorge Mendes, firmly denied any wrongdoing,
insisting the 31-year-old has been fully compliant
with all obligations relating to taxation, while
Madrid have backed their all-time leading
goalscorer.
And Ronaldo voiced his displeasure over the
allegations as he maintained his innocence,
confident the truth will eventually come out.
