Iran have debunked reports claiming that Al-Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is facing 99 lashes for kissing artist Fatemeh Hamami.
The incident happened when Ronaldo travelled to Iran with his Saudi Pro League club last month to face Persepolis in the AFC Champions League.
Before the game, Ronaldo met with Hamami in Tehran where she presented him with two portraits.
Hamami painted the portraits with her feet due to her paralysis.
During their meeting, Ronaldo hugged her and kissed her on the head. His actions led to reports that lawyers have filed charges against the five-time Ballon d’Or winner for committing adultery.
Law in Iran forbids affectionate gestures between a man and a woman who are not married.
