Juventus have broken their silence on the rape allegations against Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting these events “do not change the opinion” of the player.
The Ballon d’Or winner is the subject of a re-opened investigation in Las Vegas from 2009 and his accuser’s lawyers held a Press conference last night.
The legal team for Kathryn Mayorga said they could release some of the evidence from the case, including a rape kit and questionnaire seemingly filled out by Ronaldo.
While Ronaldo has firmly denied all the allegations, Juventus have until now stayed silent, but released a statement via Twitter this evening.
“Cristiano Ronaldo has shown in recent months his great professionalism and dedication, which is appreciated by everyone at Juventus.
“The events allegedly dating back to almost 10 years ago do not change this opinion, which is shared by anyone who has come into contact with this great champion.”
There are growing reports sponsors and charities, such as EA Sports and Save the Children, are considering dropping Ronaldo due to the allegations.

to all the athletes out there not only the soccer players but every public figures out there, including all sportsmen, please be aware of who you come in contact with, remember before stardom no one cares, as soon as you're glorified, there will be a lot challenges and obstacles, keep your circles small and stick with those people who has been there from day one. CR7 you've come from far, I do hope you'll rise above this.

What this lady is doing is not fair. After 10 years.!! I do not support rape and I believe Ronaldo is not guilty. But even if he was, why wait for 10 years. Waiting for him to be successful so you can bring him down?? orr
