Well, it’s official: Adrian Mutu must pay Chelsea FC €17m, so says the Court for Arbitration of Sport.
The ruling was handed down awhile ago, sometime last year to be not quite precise, but Adrian went through the various appeals process with little success. In fact he probably wishes he’d kept his big bazzoo shut, [...]
