Cristiano Ronaldo’s Pivotal Role in Al Nassr’s Historic Season
Previous reports stated that eight Al Nassr players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, were summoned for drug testing before the King Cup.
It is not yet known whether the instances are related.
Nonetheless, Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance was outstanding. He tied and beat Abderrazak Hamdallah’s record for most goals (34) in a single SPL season.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Impact on Binance:
The lawsuit highlights Ronaldo’s immense influence and reach, with a staggering 850 million followers across social media.
It alleges that Ronaldo’s NFT sales were instrumental in promoting Binance, causing a significant uptick in searches for the exchange, with a reported 500% increase in the week following the initial sale.
Furthermore, the complaint argues that Cristiano Ronaldo, given his investment experience and abundant resources, should have been aware of Binance’s alleged involvement in selling unregistered crypto securities.
The plaintiffs claim that Ronaldo failed to disclose payments received for promoting cryptocurrencies, violating guidance provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
