Juventus player Cristiano Ronaldo is under investigation for breaching Covid-19 protocols following his positive test earlier this month.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who didn’t play during Juve’s 4-0 Coppa Italia win against SPAL on Wednesday night, took his girlfriend to the resort of Courmayer, 93 miles from Turin, crossing the borders between Piedmont and Valle D’Aosta for a two-day trip.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, they stayed in a hotel that would have been officially closed, while Ronaldo and Rodriguez were also recorded on a snowmobile – yet Italian Covid regulations state that travel between cities is banned.
Ronaldo will have to pass a coronavirus test 24 hours before the Bianconeri’s next European outing against Barcelona in midweek or else his spell in the sidelines will be extended and a renewal of hostilities with long-time rival Lionel Messi will be postponed.

He could also now be facing punishment for breaking quarantine rules while away on international duty, having travelled back to his house in Italy via a private air ambulance after contracting Covid-19.
Previously asked whether Ronaldo had broken coronavirus regulations after leaving Portugal’s training camp, Italy’s sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora said on October 15: “Without authorisation from the health authorities, I think he has violated the protocol.”
