There have been calls for former Manchester United and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo to be deported from Saudi Arabia following an obscene gesture in his most recent game for Al-Hilal.
The Portugal international has had a great career at the highest level, becoming established as one of the greatest to ever play the game, but he has also been known for moments of petulance like this.
Ronaldo was seen grabbing his crotch as he left the pitch in his last match, and Saudi lawyer Nouf bin Ahmed has tweeted that she plans to launch an official complaint against him.
This indecent gesture could even be enough to see Ronaldo deported, she lawyer claims.

“It is considered a crime of public dishonor, and it is one of the crimes that entails arrest and deportation if committed by a foreigner,” she tweeted.
This certainly seems like one to watch as Ronaldo faces further humiliation this year after a difficult time to his end at Man Utd, where he had his contract terminated after a public spat with the club via an interview with Piers Morgan.
Thanks for the update and for giving me a chance to get in touch with you about sports.
In a way it is laws and rules he has to abide by it I believe it’s very bad for him this outcome if children are there alot ov country have set rules and regulations to abide by x
It is unfortunate that success has got to his head to a point that he has become controlling and he wants things to be done his way. It is unfortunate that we learn the hard way.
