Am I understanding this correctly? His contract was canceled because of drug use, so they didn't have to pay him. Then Chelsea gets awarded the money he would have made.

bperk, I think the award is to compensate Chelsea for the fee they paid for him in the first place. They paid Parma 22.4 million EURO for him. Caveat emptor would seem not to apply.

It's alright, they have agreed that he can pay it back at 5 quid a week.
