Nike says it is “deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations” facing footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. The sportswear company issued a statement after a woman filed a lawsuit claiming she was raped by the Portugal star in Las Vegas in 2009.

Nike has had a contract since 2003 with Ronaldo, who vehemently denies the rape allegation against him. In a statement, Nike said: “We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.” The firm’s comments come hours after Ronaldo was left out of Portugal’s squad for two upcoming matches.

Teacher Kathryn Mayorga, 34, has claimed the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player raped her in June 2009 in a Las Vegas hotel room.
