A five-year contract dispute between one of international soccer's bad boys and England's Chelsea soccer club has landed in Miami federal court. The breach-of-contract dispute stems from Chelsea's firing of striker Adrian Mutu after he tested positive for cocaine in 2004. Soccer's international governing body, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, ordered Mutu in May 2008 to pay about $23 million in compensation to Chelsea for breach of contract.
