New Delhi: Brazilian star Ronaldo has admitted he's embarrassed and ashamed about his highly publicized encounter with three cross-dressing prostitutes last week and has called it the biggest mistake of his life.

In an interview on Brazil's Globo TV, the AC Milan striker on Sunday denied claims by one of the prostitutes that he had sex with them and used drugs, but admitted the incident will haunt the rest of his career.

Ronaldo said he wasn't aware the prostitutes were cross-dressers until he got to a motel with them, discovered they were men and decided not to have sex with them because he is heterosexual.

"I'm completely heterosexual, I don't have any doubt on that. But, to be honest, I don't care what she (the transvestite) says or not. The important thing is that my mistake became very big, and took on international proportions," he said.

Police are investigating to determine whether an extortion attempt was made against Ronaldo, but have said he committed no crime.
