Mutu was sacked by Chelsea after he tested positive for cocaine

Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu has failed another doping test, the Italian Olympic Committee announced today.

The Romania international tested positive for traces of sibutramine, an anti-obesity drug, after the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Lazio on January 20.

That was Mutu's second failed test this month. CONI revealed yesterday that the 31-year-old had tested positive for the same substance on January 10 after a Serie A game between Fiorentina and Bari.
