Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus Won't Play in US ICC Matches Amid Rape Investigation

Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus will be kept away from the United States by organisers of next summer's International Champions Cup, according to a report from Tariq Panja of the New York Times.

The Italian champions are set to feature in the ICC but will play in the Asian edition of the competition due to Ronaldo being under investigation for rape in Las Vegas.

Panja reported the organisers do not wish to risk the Portuguese being detained if he flies into the country with his team.
