GETTING YOUR KIDS INVOLVED IN SOCCER COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH, NO MATTER HOW MANY ORANGE SLICES YOU EAT.
Think I've fallen off my rocker? Please read the following:
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- Three gunmen kidnapped the mother of Brazilian soccer star Rogerio, the fourth abduction of a player's mother in recent months, Brazilian media reported on Tuesday.
Police did not immediately confirm the kidnapping of Ines Fidelis Regis, 57, but the case was widely reported in the Brazilian press.
Regis was kidnapped on Monday at her home in Campinas, 60 miles northwest of Sao Paulo, the O Globo newspaper's Web site reported. The gunmen reportedly bound and gagged her daughter and left with Regis.
Rogerio plays for Portugal's Sporting Lisbon.
Campinas police are still searching for striker Luis Fabiano's mother, who was kidnapped in the city this month. The kidnappers reportedly have not contacted the family. Luis Fabiano plays for Portugal's FC Porto.
The wave of kidnappings began last December, when armed men seized the mother of Santos striker Robinho. She was released five weeks later, but it wasn't clear whether her family paid a ransom.
Last month, the mother of Sao Paulo striker Grafite was abducted near Sao Paulo. Police found her unharmed a day later.
It wasn't clear whether there was a connection between the kidnappings, but national team coach Carlos Alberto Parreira this month lamented that soccer players were an increasingly common target.
"I can only regret that the wave of violence has reached soccer," Parreira said, soon after Luis Fabiano's mother was kidnapped. "They used to spare soccer players."
