Italian Antidoping Committee Wants Romanian Footballer Mutu Suspended One Year
The case will be tried by Italy's National Antidoping Tribunal.
Mutu tested positive for sibutramine after a match against Bari in the Italian championship. Sibutramine is an anorectic or appetite suppressant, reducing the desire to eat.
Mutu, 31, tested positive for cocaine back in 2004, when he was playing for Chelsea London, was suspended for seven months over drugs use by the English Football Association. Mutu has been ordered to pay EUR17 million to Chelsea for breach of contract.
