Pele the player has been a hero to so many, the talented and graceful Brazilian who conjured an exotic example for others to follow.
It is just a shame that he cannot show the same class in his advancing years after retirement.
His association with Viagra, the rent-a-quote role for a financial company at major tournaments and ill-judged remarks about the current crop of Brazil players have tainted his image.
Now this is a genuine drug.
.this is a man who endorses it.
.and this is a man who takes no drugs at all
In the latest controversy he allegedly claimed on radio that Manchester City's Robinho has a drug problem. Of course, it has been denied and such a serious accusation should not be made without evidence.
Pele didn't offer any and it is a sad state of affairs that a true legend of the game has to stoop so low.
