He had a fit/convulsions during the night before the world cup final

was taken to hospital and they advised him and the Brazil medical staff that he shouldn't play. Pressure from all kinds of angles and Ronaldo also wanting to play meant he ended up in the starting line-up after initially being left out. Roberto Carlos was his room-mate I believe and was the first one to come out with the true events.
