US Soccer Star Accuses Former FIFA President of Sex Assault

Hope Solo, the U.S. women’s soccer (football) team’s standout goalkeeper, says that former FIFA president Sepp Blatter sexually assaulted her in 2013 at an awards event.

Blatter denied allegations Saturday that he had grabbed her backside, calling them “absurd.”

Speaking with Portuguese newspaper Expresso on Friday, the 36-year-old Solo said that the then-FIFA president had made his advance just before she was about to present an award to her teammate Abby Wambach at the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
