Ronaldo's main sponsor raises concerns for player

American sports dress giant Nike said he is “deeply concerned” on charges of rape against football star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The company, which has a $1 billion contract with Ronaldon, said that “will continue to closely monitor the” situation.

EA Sports, also contracting with Ronaldo, made similar comments.

Ronaldo, 33, has denied being attacked by Catherine Mayorgan at a hotel in Las Vegas in 2009.

Mayorga, 34, is inspired to speak from the #MeToo (also I), her lawyer said.

“Movement MeToo and women who stood up and talked about sexual assaults gave her a lot of courage”, said lawyer Leslie Stovell.

Juventus ú Italian club where Ronaldo passed from Real Madrid in July came to the defense of his player.
