Anglo Angle:
Chelsea block Mutu's Italian move
The battle between Chelsea and sacked Adrian Mutu continues with claims the club will pursue any of his future employers for compensation. The £15.8m rated ex-Parma star was set for a return to Serie A once his drug ban expires, but Juventus and Fiorentina could now be put off by this tactic. “They target-tested the player with a view to getting rid of him,” slammed PFA boss Gordon Taylor. “I find it astonishing they are not prepared to encourage rehabilitation.”
how long can such a ban be?

why should Mutu be more guilty than Blasi or Davids?
Blasi and Davids took doping to be more competitive. I don't like this at all, ok.
But Mutu took coke he needs treatment, or at least some psychological help. He's a great player, and he can get over this and start training seriously. We shouldn't hang him because he took coke. It's a big mistake, that's for sure. If he quitted coke, train like hell during his ban, he can come back and be the great player he was once for Parma. But that will be after one or 2 years (at least).
So I sincerely hope he'll get over it, and for christ's sake: play football!
