Cristiano Ronaldo has been selected for a random doping test by the Saudi Anti-Doping Committee. This occurred right after Al-Nassr’s recent victory (a 3-1 away win), where he and teammate Iñigo Martínez were chosen for testing.
This marks the 10th time Ronaldo has been selected for such a test during the current season in the Saudi Pro League. Reports describe these as “random” checks, but the high frequency has sparked fan discussions and speculation about whether it’s standard procedure or unusually targeted scrutiny on the superstar player.

These tests are routine in professional football, often conducted post-match or during training, and there’s no indication of any positive result or wrongdoing. Ronaldo has a long history of passing such tests across his career. Similar incidents have happened before (e.g., during his time at Real Madrid or after standout performances), sometimes leading to light-hearted or frustrated reactions from him or fans noting “always me.”
