Chelsea slam ‘too soft’ FA as Mutu gets seven months ban

CHELSEA last night accused the FA of being “weak on the issue of drugs” after Adrian Mutu was handed a seven-month ban following his positive drugs test.

Mutu, who was also fined €28,500, must first complete a programme of “education and rehabilitation” before he can hope to rebuild his career.

He will also be target-tested during his suspension, which was backdated to start on October 25 and will expire at the end of the domestic campaign on May 18, 2005.
