SAO PAULO, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Soccer legend Pele, hospitalized this week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, was transferred to a special care unit, the hospital said.
Pele, 74, was admitted for treatment for a urinary infection twice this week. In an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the illness, his agent, Jose Fornos Rodrigues, told CNN the retired athlete was moved to a special care facility to protect his privacy.
