dope
Former Chelsea player Adrian Mutu, who was kicked out of the club following his use of cocaine, has not learnt his lesson it seems as the player now with Italian team Fiorentina has just received a nine month ban following positive dope tests in January.
Mutu was twice tested positive in Italy, following the games against Bari on January 10th and then again against Lazio on January 20th.
The case was heard by the Italian Anti Doping Tribunal today who heard that Mutu had been found positive on both occasions for the banned substance sibutramine.
Sibutramine is supplied with a drug prescription that is prescribed for weight loss. Mutu confirmed that the drug had been given to him for use by his mother.
The 31 year old who has been at the top of his game since joining Fiorentina from Italian rivals Juventus, scoring 50 goals in 91 games, apologised to the club and the fans for letting them down (again) and said;
“I feel this is a harsh punishment, It seems too much. I expected less because, yes, the mistake was made, it’s right to pay, but not so much.”
