LISBON: Cristiano Ronaldo insisted again Wednesday that he did not rape a woman he met in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 and that their sexual encounter was "completely consensual", said his lawyer. "Ronaldo is forced to break his silence," said the Juventus and Portuguese star's lawyer Peter Christiansen in a statement released through Gestifute, the company which manages the player's affairs. "Once again, for the avoidance of doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo's position has always been, and continues to be, that what happened in 2009 in Las Vegas was completely consensual." Police in Las Vegas announced last week that they were reopening an investigation into allegations made by a former model, Kathryn Mayorga, relating to an incident in 2009. Ronaldo has vehemently denied the rape accusations. "I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me," the 33-year-old said in a statement. "Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in." … [Read more...] about Football: Ronaldo insists sex was ‘completely consensual’

LAS VEGAS: Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday (Oct 3) denied accusations by a former American model that he raped her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 and said his conscience is clear. But lawyers for his accuser Kathryn Mayorga later hit back, saying their client had been "very consistent" in her reporting of the incident. The case has threatened to tarnish the reputation of the Portuguese superstar, arguably the world's best footballer. "I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me," the Portuguese superstar tweeted in Portuguese and English. "Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in," said the 33-year-old Juventus forward. "Keen as I may be to clear my name I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense," Ronaldo said. I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in. Keen as I may be … [Read more...] about Football: Ronaldo denies hotel sex attack, calls rape ‘abominable’

Ben Beshore did not take the bait. The opportunity to acknowledge the shortcomings of predecessor Adam Stevens presented itself, but Kyle Busch ’s new crew chief opted for the high road. “I worked for Adam for four years,” Beshore said last month in Daytona. “We had a lot of great success on that team. I’m not going to say anything bad about him, by any means. But from my standpoint, I’m just going to do it my way, I guess.” Beshore seemed jittery. Perhaps it was the adrenaline — he’d just won the Busch Clash — or maybe it was his first time on the microphone in front of this many people, but the rookie Cup Series team leader was delicately laying out his game plan for course-correcting a conspicuously wayward ship, careful in choosing his words. Busch, inching towards his statistical prime, won just twice in a 58-race stretch, an aberration in a career that’s seen the 35-year-old racer average one Cup Series win in every 10 starts. It was a wasted 2020 season for a driver who … [Read more...] about ‘Good things will happen’: Ben Beshore charting Kyle Busch’s course correction

LAS VEGAS: Former world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather said Saturday (Sep 15) he will face Manny Pacquiao later this year in a rematch of their 2015 superfight. In a posting on Instagram, Mayweather said he will come out of retirement to fight Pacquiao, three years after scoring a comfortable points victory over the veteran Filipino. "I'm coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year. Another 9 figure pay day on the way," Mayweather wrote on Instagram. No further details were given. A video accompanying the post showed Mayweather and Pacquiao talking to each other at an event but their exact exchange of words could not be heard clearly. Mayweather earned an estimated US$220 million from his first fight with Pacquiao, which finally took place after years of on-off negotiations. Pacquiao earned around US$100 million from the contest.
