Fiorentina Striker Adrian Mutu Tests Positive During An Anti-Doping Test - Report
http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/ital...ker-adrian-mutu-tests-positive-during-an-anti
Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu has been found positive for the banned substance Sibutramine following a doping test he took on January 10.
Coni (the Italian Olympic Committee) have confirmed he failed a doping test following the 2-1 win over Bari earlier this month.
A statement on their official website reads
"Coni communicates that, following laboratory tests in Roma, a positive case has been found. In the first player who was tested, the presence of traces of the substance Sibutramine was found for Adrian Mutu during a routine control of the anti-doping committee on January 10 in Florence, during the Serie A game between Fiorentina and Bari."
Mutu scored in that game and the Viola went on to win 2-1. The consequences for the player could be severe. Sky Sport Italia claim the player could be given a ban ranging anything from 12 months to four years, as this is the second time he has failed a test.
Many will remember that Mutu famously failed a test for cocaine in 2004 during his days at Chelsea. He was subsequently sacked from the club and banned for seven months.
The substance Sibutramine is banned in the United Kingdom and European Union, and it has been documented the substance has been used as a way of surpressing hunger, or treating obesity.
AGENT SAYS CAREER IS OVER
The agent of Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu claims the Romanian's career will be finished if he receives a ban following news that he has failed a second doping test.
The Italian Olympic Committee confirmed on Thursday that the Viola hitman failed an anti-doping test on January 10. Traces of the banned substance Sibutramine were found in the test.
Reports claim the repercussions could be heavy for Mutu, with suggestions he could be banned for anything between one and four years.
With such a possibility, Gigi Becali, the player's agent, claims this could be the end of Mutu's career.
"If the result is confirmed then Adrian can wave goodbye to his career," the agent told Romanian Channel GspTV.
The very latest news from Florence is that Mutu interrupted his afternoon training session and was escorted off the pitch and into the changing rooms by the Viola's club doctor and team manager.
Fiorentina have not released a statement.
