As one of the most prominent soccer players in the world, a scandal can easily ruin his life. Cristiano Ronaldo is probably at the peak of the career, and the scandal involving him allegedly raping a woman in 2009 could cause some significant damage to his career. The footballer has, however, dismissed the allegation as "fake news" in an Instagram video. 

In the live video, the now Juventus FC forward claimed that his name was only being used as a way for the girl to gain some attention, and Ronaldo claimed that this is pretty normal. "They want to promote [themselves] by [using] my name. It's normal."
