News in brief
Ex Chelsea player Adrian Mutu will have to pay £13.8m in damages to the football club—the largest fine ever handed down to a player. The penalty was calculated according to the value of the remainder of his contract which was cut short due to his failing a drugs test. He has the right to appeal.
