Life can be very cruel especially for many athletes who have found themselves in the clutches of the law with their only defence left to fate to decide.

Former Fc Barcelona star Dani Alves after serving some time in prison has been found not guilty of rape.

Despite countless attempts throughout the years stating and trying to prove his innocence, his reputation was thrown into the mud, losing his family and losing money, having to pay for breach in sponsorships and friends giving up on him.

The court after numerous attempts to make meaning to the countless stories of the victim(woman) dismissed the case due to inconsistencies and have finally found him innocent due to lack of evidence.

The real question that has remained is do the same do due diligence before pronouncements?

Dani Alves has served some time already for a proposed allegation which he has been acquitted of, what happens to the woman who started the lawsuit?

Are they planning any sort of compensation or it ends there?

Similar case rose against Hakimi while Thomas Partey battles his in court.
