Mutu ordered to pay 13 million pounds compensation to Chelsea
0 Comments | AFP, August, 2008
LONDON (AFP) — Adrian Mutu has been ordered by FIFA to pay Chelsea 13.68 million pounds (17.2 million euros) in compensation following his failed drugs test in 2004, the Premier League club announced on Thursday.
Romania striker Mutu, now at Serie A club Fiorentina, was sacked by Chelsea in October 2004 and banned for seven months after failing a drugs test for cocaine.
The 29-year-old's fine is the biggest ever handed down to a footballer and was calculated by FIFA's dispute resolution chamber according to the value of the remaining period on his Stamford Bridge contract.
Romania's press announced in June that 12 million euros would be the compensation sum, but the number given officially by the Blues has since been re-evaluated.
