Ronaldo to try to lose weight on TV

RIO DE JANEIRO — Globo television network says retired Brazilian great Ronaldo is taking part in a televised weight loss program.

The popular variety show "Fantastico" will chronicle the three-time FIFA player of the year's bid to shed the pounds he packed on since his retirement early last year. The three-month-long program is meant to get Ronaldo back into sport and change his relationship with food, Globo said in a report on its website Friday.

In a clip, the beer-bellied former striker acknowledges "I have a terrible relationship with the scale."

Since retirement, Ronaldo has remained in the public eye as a member of the local organizing committee for the 2014 World Cup. He's also done commercials, some of which poke fun at his dramatic weight gain.

Contador given own weight in honey

Penalver, Spain — Champion cyclist Alberto Contador has been awarded the peculiar honor of receiving his weight in honey, a delicacy of the Spanish town of Penalver.

Contador, along with his bike, were weighed on a scale set up in the town square on Saturday. The total was multiplied by six for the Spanish rider's major stage wins (three at the Tour de France, two at the Giro d'Italia, and one at the Spanish Vuelta).

Spain soccer coach Vicente Del Bosque received the honor last year that is given to promote the local product.

Contador is awaiting the verdict of the Court of Arbitration for Sport on his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs in the 2010 Tour.
