Adrian Mutu's latest legal challenge against having to pay Chelsea compensation for failing a drugs test has been rejected by the European Court of Human Rights. Adrian Mutu's challenge over compensation was rejected by European Court of Human RightsAfter Chelsea were successful in their own subsequent legal action to FIFA, Mutu was ordered in 2007 to pay more than €17million - nearly £15.3m at today's exchange rate. Mutu, though, continued his legal fight by lodging an appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. In June 2010, the player's case was dismissed by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, which prompted Mutu to seek a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights. Mutu, 39, retired from playing in 2016 and earlier this year spent a few months in charge of Romanian club Voluntari.
