Craig 6700 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 ....has learned nowt it seems Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu fails drugs test Romania international striker Adrian Mutu has tested positive for a banned substance, according to the Italian Olympic Committee. A statement said traces of anti-obesity drug sibutramine were found in a sample after a Serie A match between his Fiorentina side and Bari on 10 January. The 31-year-old tested positive for cocaine in 2004 while at Chelsea. Mutu was banned for seven months by the Football Association, but he could face a four-year ban for a second offence. Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant drug used for obese people, although it was recently banned in the UK amid fears over the increased risks of heart attacks and strokes. Mutu has been in excellent form for the Florence-based club, scoring seven times this season - including a goal in the 2-1 win over Bari. But away from the pitch a Swiss Federal Court is nearing a ruling on his appeal against the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which said he must pay Chelsea 17m Euros (£14.62m) for breach of contract.

Richie J 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 What a div. Anti obesity? Surely it can't hard to keep the weight off if you're a professional footballer... although Kevin Nolan would no doubt beg to differ. I thought Mutut has/had a lot of ability... haven't seen him play much since he left Chelsea mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
