For the record, I believe Adrian Mutu still has yet to pay any of his fine to Chelsea because every time they win a court case against him he just appeals again to a different court. Twice at CAS, once at the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland (who knows why) and now reportedly at the European Court of Justice. He also reportedly has 14M in assets so would need to borrow substantially to pay the fine in full, especially now that it's accruing interest.

FullLeatherJacket posted:He'll never pay it. The enforcing body is FIFA, which pretty much means that Mutu is just kicking the can down the road for as long as he can until he has to retire. All they can ultimately do is ban him from football. He's already 32. Well, maybe. The thing is that while it was FIFA who decided the amount, it has been upheld by actual judicial bodies, namely CAS and the Swiss Supreme Court. I'm no lawyer so I don't know how contract disputes go, but that seems reasonably legit to me.

Shrapnac posted:This is totally bizarre. Both admitted to having sex with the girl, one goes free with no repurcussions, the other gets 5 years. Reposting from the PL thread: It might have something to do with the fact that (according to the first story) the other player is the one that actually chatted her up at the bar and took her back to his hotel room, whether she was blackout drunk or drugged or whatever, so maybe the court thought she consented to having sex with him; while Evans got a call from his mate, showed up at the hotel room and, without having met or talked to the girl before, just started having sex, maybe with a mumbled 'yes' from a basically passed out girl. If that's really the case, I can see why a jury might find one guilty and the other not. Not saying that's the rationale I would take, but I can see that line of thinking.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:You would have to be absolutely stupid if you think teams like United, Bayern, Barcelona, Milan, etc do not have any involvement whatsoever in doping activities. They are multi-million (in some cases, billion) major global sporting franchises with players expected to play on massive contracts for audiences of hundreds of millions of people. Of course they loving dope, just like every other major sport. Terry's only 32, that's not old at all for a centre back and he's actually declining rapidly whereas Lampard continues to bang goals in off other people's asses and Giggs somehow managed to outlast Fergie while still being in the first team. But yeah, Terry probably dopes anyway because he's poo poo and also a oval office. Everybody dopes.

If it wasn't rape, then I'm a little disappointed that a rumour of two dudes having consensual man love was enough to cause a scandal that got both of them fired and is to this day considered a club's greatest shame. Let's kick homophobia out of football.

There's a big difference between being killed by spectators after you stab a player to death and being killed by a 36-year-old man for doing your job and giving him a red card, imo.

That one goal he scored, I think against Arsenal or United once, was amazing and convinced me that he was the next big thing. Then he wasn't and I was sad, but I've still got a soft spot for him. I hope he turns up safe and sound.

Several sponsors of Sheffield United have said they'll pull their sponsorships if the club rehires him. And the Olympic gold medalist they named a stand after in 2012 has asked them to remove her name from the stand if they rehire him. It would be a PR nightmare if they took him back. Surely there are other strikers they can sign.

If the Operation Yewtree guys get out of jail, should they be allowed to go back on television or the radio or wherever and assume their previous lives in the spotlight and make shitloads of money while being in the public eye constantly, because they served their time in prison and therefore it's all okay?

The entire Spanish national team have been doped up to their eyeballs for every major triumph they've had recently and so have FC Barcelona.

I think even before they got desanctioned the Nutrilite Canadian Championship was just a few teams. It's more because even though MLS is A Bad League, Toronto FC et al would win games against these guys like 50-0 even before any match-fixing happened.
