Mutu ordered to pay £13.68million to Chelsea
FIFA have ordered Adrian Mutu to pay Chelsea £13.68million in compensation after being tested positive for cocaine while at Stamford Bridge.
Mutu, 29, failed a drug test in 2004 and was banned for seven months before moving to Juventus and Fiorentina after getting sacked by Chelsea.
Mutu's lawyer, Cristian Sarbu, claimed earlier in the summer that his client was told to pay £9.6million by FIFA and that the Romania striker would be contesting the ruling.
