		<description>The truth stings isn&#039;t it? :)

You know Abra&#039;s a thief, isn&#039;t he? And the people that work for this thief want to set a new precedent in football history.

There are a LOT of players in this world that used drugs,  even for performance enhancement wich is a lot worse, but  there&#039;s only one club that has such a scumbag convention running it that they feel the need to destroy the career of a guy that made a mistake, sack him and then when the poor ex drug user recovers his career, sue him for more than he earned in his whole career.

What&#039;s even more baffling is that as I understand Chelsea&#039;s band&#039;o scumbags demanded 12m and got 17m ... I guess some of those corrupt FIFA official got a Abramovich style bribe and felt the need to work a litte extra for it. :)</description>

		<description>He&#039;s not liable for a contract between other two parties. It&#039;s absurd.

And you tell me that Chleski bought him with 22mil euro of Abramovich&#039;s 100% stolen money and after that suspension he served he had a market value of .... under 5mil? And the time he played for them does not count at all? What the hell?

I think Abramovich greased the right hands at FIFA to get this ridiculous decision, afterall Havelange, Blatter and his clique are all obvious bribe takers. I recently saw a BBC documentary on the bribes that are taken by FIFA officials ... I must say it&#039;s exactly as I expected. Abramovich fits right into that scene. :)</description>

		<description>Indeed, prosecuting by the full extent of the law is the best policy. I&#039;m glad CFC are showing the way.</description>

		<description>And to &quot;A&quot; 

Yes you are right Bosnich was another case. 

He likewise &quot;blew&quot; his career up for the white stuff. 

He signed from MUF on a free transfer and as far as i recall was on GBP 40,000 a week. An amount most people would earn in about a year. 

If you make that kind of money you know the risks associated with doing drugs as it would be spelled out in your contract. 

Also bear in mind that these people most likely don&#039;t take the bus to and from training (presumably), so there is a good chance that at some point they would have been driving with drugs in their blood. We cant say this for sure of course, but when you have a couple of super nice car in the garage its fair to assume that you don&#039;t take the bus. 

I wonder if your views would be so accommodating if one of your children had been killed in a traffic accident by a drug abuser?</description>

		<description>How is this ridiculous? 

CFC paid Parma GBP 15.8m for the player. That&#039;s an investment CFC did. The player was an asset on CFC&#039;s books. 

There was a contract which specifically spelled out the terms of the engagement. 

Mutu clearly breached that contract and subsequently devalued (wiped out!) the investment CFC did. (He was aware of this when he snorted the white stuff!). 
He had also committed himself to deliver service to CFC. 
Had CFC breached the contract I am sure he would have had no qualms claiming total payout of the remainder of the contract. 

The only reason why you are upset about this is because its CFC and its a wealthy club. 

Had it been any other &quot;poor club&quot; your views would have been totally different. 

Its good to see that the law applies to &quot;rich clubs&quot; as well. 

If you are so stupid that you are prepared to risk it all, when you are on a super-lucrative contract (for drug abuse) then you deserve to pay the penalty. 

Lets not forget that he was a drug abuser.</description>

		<description>Chelsea are burning their bridges with potential signings with these kinds of shenanigans. Young players courted by Chelsea should and will think twice to sign for a club which ostracise&#039;s so severely one of it&#039;s own for a misdemeanour.

They really go out to kill a player&#039;s career and life after a fallout. It&#039;s not the first time too. Bosnich was another case in point. They were overly heavy handed with  Mutu from the start and are just burning now that he&#039;s restarted his career in such fine fashion, something they could not envisage when they sacked him.</description>

		<description>it&#039;s not fair, and it&#039;s rediculous. CHelsea did nothing to help Mutu with his problem, then fired him and didn&#039;t resolve any payback issues at the time of termination.  Mutu shouldn&#039;t have to pay a dime to Chelsea, because they handled the whole situation like idiots. This also will set a bad precedent so that clubs do less to help playesr with their personal problems because they can terminate their contracts and demand money later</description>
