Controversial striker banned from driving in UK

Liverpool striker, Mario Balotelli is on the news for the wrong reasons again following his 28-days banning drive for overspeeding.

The controversial Italian was pulled over by police last December driving his left handed Ferrari.

The striker was fined £800 and banned from driving for 28 days on Friday, May 15 after he admitted speeding at 109mph in his Ferrari.

Balotelli's car was said to have been calibrated in kilometres per hour and he was not ware that he was driving at that speed.

He was however co-operative with the police after he was stopped and the court has ordered him to pay£800, and  £80 victim surcharge and £100 court costs.

His lawyer asked the court for 28 days for payment to be made.
