Argentine club suspends 4 amid rape investigation

Argentina topflight club Vélez Sarsfield suspended four players on Thursday after a woman accused them of raping her last week.

Velez said they suspended goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa, defender Braian Cufré, midfielder José Ignacio Florentín and striker Abiel Osorio after learning that prosecutors had launched an investigation.

A sexual abuse complaint was filed in Tucuman, a city 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) north of Buenos Aires, where Velez played Saturday in a match against Atletico Tucuman.

Local media reported that the woman told authorities that she agreed to join one of the players in a hotel room, but that there were also three other men there.

The woman said she drank alcoholic beverages with the players, fell asleep in one of the beds and then was raped.

None of the four players or their representatives have commented on the investigation.

Vélez, an Argentinian club with 10 national titles and the 1994 Copa Libertadores trophy, said they are willing "to bring every piece of information and all relevant details so it can help the investigation."

Information from The Associated Press was used in this story.
