Adrian Mutu was fined $17.2 million euros today after a long dispute between him and his former club. It was supposed to be one of Cheslea’s best additions to their team but things quickly went sour.
Adrian Mutu
Mutu used to play for Chelsea back in 2003 but was suspended after he tested positive for cocaine. The positive drug test got Mutu suspended for 17 months but was subsequently fired. Not to remain stagnant, Mutus signed for Juventus as a free agent. After being sold from that club for $12 million he received a little trouble from Chelsea who claimed that he wasn’t theirs to sell. After the drug incident Chelsea lost out on the $17 million they paid for Mutu and barely received any play time out of him.
The business of soccer sucks. I still think that they should pay these players less, might save allot of people unnecessary headaches. The real troubles though lie with Mutu who has said that the lawsuit would bankrupt him.
