Police question Brazil star Adriano

Brazil striker Adriano has been questioned by police about alleged ties to drug traffickers.

A prosecutor had ordered the questioning after a newspaper reported that Adriano purchased two motorcycles and registered one of them in the name of the mother of a "known drug trafficker."

Adriano did not talk to the media after being questioned on Thursday, but one of his lawyers said everything was clarified.

Adriano was raised at a Rio de Janeiro slum and admits he likes to remain close to his community, but has always denied any type of wrongdoing.

Police didn't immediately make any comments about Adriano's questioning.
