Cristiano Ronaldo in underwear dispute with American citizen

Providence Island: Christopher Renzi – a man from US – is trying to sue Cristiano Ronaldo in a dispute over an underwear line but he is unable to get to the international soccer star. Renzi sued the Real Madrid forward and a Danish underwear maker in July after being told of their plan to use the phrase "CR7" to sell underwear in the United States.

Ronaldo sells "CR7" underwear and other clothing in Europe, but Renzi owns the trademark in the United States.

Renzi had until the end of November to notify Ronaldo of the lawsuit, but his lawyer says they so far haven't been able to get to one of the world's most famous athletes.

In the meantime, lawyer Michael Feldhuhn said he’s keeping an eye out for CR7 underwear being sold in the US.

Feldhuhn said a Spanish justice official went to the headquarters of Real Madrid in Spain and tried to deliver the legal papers there, but the official said in a filing that a receptionist refused to accept them because the lawsuit doesn’t involve the team. Feldhuhn said they are now trying to serve the papers at an address where they believe Ronaldo lives.

The judge overseeing the case has given Renzi until March 26 to find Ronaldo and serve him with the papers.
