Authorities say former Brazil striker Romario was fined $614 and had his license revoked for five days for refusing to take a breathalyzer test.
State authorities said in a statement that the player was stopped before dawn Sunday in a random police check for drunk drivers. His Land Rover wasn't towed because he had a passenger who was sober and drove the car away.
Romario was also fined $530 for refusing to take a breathalyzer test in March 2010.
The World Cup winner was elected as a representative to the lower house of Congress in 2010.
