The statement created a scare in Brazil, with local media widely reporting that Peles condition had deteriorated.Jose Fornos Rodrigues, Peles spokesman and personal aide, told the AP that Pele is fine, also saying that the move within the hospital was because he was receiving too many visitors and that wasnt helping, so they transferred him to a calmer area.He should be out of the hospital in a few days, he said.The hospital later released another statement saying that Peles condition improved, but for the first time mentioned that he was in an intensive care unit and temporarily undergoing renal support treatment. The hospitals press office did not confirm whether the treatment meant dialysis.The hospitals press office had previously denied that Pele was in intensive care.
