Nike ‘Deeply Concerned’ by ‘Disturbing’ Cristiano Ronaldo Allegations

(LONDON) — Nike has told The Associated Press that it's "deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations" facing soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The emailed statement Thursday from the media department for the U.S. sportswear firm follows the filing of a lawsuit in Las Vegas by a woman who alleges that she was raped by Ronaldo in 2009.

Ronaldo has denied the claims.
