Cristiano Ronaldo told to give DNA sample

Former model Kathryn Mayorga, 34, made the accusations against the now 33-year-old Ronaldo.

Los Angeles: Las Vegas police has asked football star Cristiano Ronaldo to submit a DNA sample as part of their investigation into rape allegations made against him.

The five-time world player of the year who plays for Italian league champions Juventus has vehemently denied the accusations, and his lawyer Peter Christiansen said the request was standard procedure.

“Mr Ronaldo has always maintained, as he does today, that what occurred in Las Vegas in 2009 was consensual in nature, so it is not surprising that DNA would be present.”

Former model Kathryn Mayorga, 34, made the accusations against the now 33-year-old Ronaldo in a complaint filed last year in the state of Nevada.
