Ronaldo fastest player in Milan training camp/ Associated Press
Posted: 49 minutes ago


MILAN, Italy (AP) - Ronaldo seems to be regaining his fitness.

Often criticized for being overweight at Real Madrid, the Brazil striker was the fastest player in 30-meter drills Tuesday at AC Milan's training camp.

Ronaldo covered the short distance in 4.01 seconds, according to Milan's Web site, beating teammates Filippo Inzaghi and Serginho.

Several Milan players were away with their national teams. Ronaldo was not named to Brazil's team for friendlies with Chile - which Brazil won 4-0 - and Ghana.

Milan has often set Ronaldo aside to work on his fitness since transferring from Real Madrid in January.

Ronaldo will likely be the focus of Milan's attack for Saturday's Serie A match against AS Roma since he cannot play in the Champions League quarterfinals against Bayern Munich three days later.

UEFA rules prohibit players from appearing for two different clubs in the Champions League in the same season.

That's pretty damn quick, especially for a "fat,old man" as he's been labelled.. Shows there's nothing wrong with him, he'll keep banging in the goals for us!

No way...even the speed of light is faster than Serginho
No really I think when Sergio is at 100% there is not a chance R99 is faster than him.

I don't find any surprise TBH.

For short distances, usually those who have more muscle ('normal' ones... not Baptista or Adriano) are the ones who get better results.

Looks like Serginho doesn't have his speed yet .... wonder what Kaka runs, easily under 4 seconds =)

and btw it says 4.1 on acmilan.com, not 4.01
