A rape charge against shortstop Jose Uribe of the San Francisco Giants was dismissed in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
Uribe, 29, was accused by a woman of drugging her, threatening her with a gun and raping her. He had denied the charge.
The dismissal of the case was recommended by Jose Francisco Rodriguez, district attorney at the province of San Cristobal.
“There is no reason to indict or bring him to prison because there is no guilt,” said Rodriguez.
