Adrian Mutu failed drug test

Adrian Mutu is a former Chelsea player who failed drug tests on two occasions.

Adrian Mutu’s situation at Chelsea is one of the messiest in modern footballing history. He joined Chelsea FC as one of the most highly-rated forwards in Europe. He left the club disgraced after a number of fall-outs, a failed drug test, and contract termination.

Mutu failed the test after just 27 games for the club, with his sample revealing he had taken cocaine.

He received a seven-month ban and rebuilt his career in Italy. Mutu joined Juventus as a free agent and then was sold after one season for almost £5.5m to Serie A rival Fiorentina.

Mutu’s troubled career took another negative turn with a new positive doping test. Mutu failed a second drug now at Fiorentina.

He was given a nine-month ban and sacked by Fiorentina. Mutu played later for Cesena, Ajaccio and Petrolul.
