At last, the court of Arbitration for sports has ruled. And Juventus is not owing Chelsea a dime. Many of us don't understand, don't worry I will explain:
In 2004, The English FA sacked Adrian Mutu following his
positive test for cocaine, the
Romanian then made his way to
Italy, where both Livorno and Juve
were involved in a transfer that
took him to Turin (and paid Chelsea
nothing).
After a long legal process in which
Chelsea tried to recover at least
some of the money they lost over
the Mutu saga, CAS decided to
award the Blues damages, which
Mutu had to pay. Since €18 million
plus interest is rather a lot of
money even for a professional
footballer, Mutu couldn't pay, and
FIFA then decided that Juventus and
Livorno were also liable for the
damages. Both clubs appealed to
CAS, and today's ruling is the result
of that appeal.
Here is a copy of the ruling by the court of Abitration, CAS:
Following the news
circulated in the last
hour, Juventus
confirms that the Court
of Arbitration for Sport
in Lausanne has
notified of the
arbitration decision
between Chelsea FC and
Juventus regarding the
transfer of Adrian
Mutu. The decision
wholly dismissed the
claims of Chelsea FC,
sentencing them to pay
the legal costs. This
decision has no effects
on the finances of
Juventus ...
