(UTV|COLOMBO) – A Commonwealth Games swimmer has been cleared of raping a woman after a night out in Cardiff, the BBC Sport reported.
Otto Putland, 24, who represented Wales at the 2014 Games in Glasgow, had denied forcing himself on the woman after she had sex with his friend, Olympic swimmer Ieuan Lloyd.
A jury at Cardiff Crown Court took just two hours to unanimously clear him of rape.
Mr Putland, of Dinedor, near Hereford, told the court the sex was consensual.
