Career

[edit]

In 2005, Donizete won the 2005 Club World Cup with São Paulo. However, he eventually sold his winners' medal to get money after becoming addicted to cocaine in 2010.[2] As a result of his addiction, he was unable to continue his football career for years and spent months in rehabilitation.[3]
