Ex-Chelsea star at it again

Cape Town - Former Chelsea bad-boy Adrian Mutu is back in the spotlight after being turned away from the Indian embassy in Bucharest.

Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Romanian stiker was sent home from the Indian embassy in Bucharest after arriving "visibly drunk".

Mutu, now 35,  made headlines in England in 2004 after testing positive for cocaine and was released by Chelsea shortly afterwards.

Mutu is due to take up a short term contract with Indian Super League side , FC Pune City, but his arrival in India has now been delayed.

The former striker had to be restrained after intimidating staff at the embassy.
