The Viola star's team-mates have promised to help theRomanian pay the hefty fine due to Chelsea...
Yesterday's declaration by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ordered Adrian Mutu to pay over €17 million in compensation to Chelsea for "breach of contract".
The Romanian tested positive for cocaine after a doping test in 2004, but has put his career back on tract with Fiorentina after a brief spell with Juventus.
His team-mates are now rallying around him, and the club captain Dario Dainelli has announced that they will give him both personal and financial help.
"It is obvious that Adrian cannot be very happy," he said, according to Tuttomercatoweb.com.
"However, we are trying to joke about it with him and, together with the rest of the squad, we will raise some money to help him."
The 30-year-old formed a lethal partnership with Alberto Gilardino for Fiorentina last season, and hopefully for the Gigliati faithful, the show of solidarity from his team-mates will spur the Romanian on to a similarly successful season next year.
