Overview
- NR Sports denounced the allegations as defamatory and false and said criminal and civil measures are underway against journalist Rodolfo Gomes.
- Gomes read an anonymous message alleging heavy whisky with energy drink, narguile use, very late nights, and training times pushed to late morning, claims that remain disputed.
- The journalist said he is calm about a potential lawsuit and signaled he will mount a legal defense if necessary.
- Santos confirmed a right rectus femoris injury, with Neymar in treatment under medical guidance at Cepraf and no defined timeline; outside estimates of four to 12 weeks suggest he could miss the rest of 2025.
- Ex-player Walter Casagrande publicly questioned the rumor, criticized the casual use of the term addiction, and noted the lack of reliable confirmation.
