Police want Ronaldo’s DNA

LAS VEGAS: Police in Nevada have asked Italian authorities to obtain a DNA sample from Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo in the investigation of accusations that he raped a woman a decade ago in Las Vegas, police said on Thursday.

The matter came to light in September when Kathryn Mayorga sued Ronaldo, accusing him of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel penthouse suite in 2009, then paying her $375 000 in hush money.

Ronaldo said he was innocent.
